Product Overview
DXQ6C3
6.5" 3-Way Component Speaker Set with Yellow Straw + Composite Foam Cone — 150W RMS, 4-Ohm
The DXQ6C3 is engineered for crystal-clear sound across all frequencies. This 3-way system includes two 6.5" woofers, two 3.5" midrange drivers, two 2" tweeters, and two 3-way crossovers for a detailed full-range audio experience.
With a combined RMS of 150W and MAX of 300W, this component set outputs clean, distortion-free audio at manageable power levels. The 90dB sensitivity guarantees loud and clear playback, while the 4-ohm impedance guarantees compatibility in most car audio setups.
The woofers and midranges feature yellow straw and composite foam cones for added durability and accuracy. The included tweeters feature silk diaphragms and neodymium magnets for smooth highs with brilliant detail.
Included 3-way crossovers with screw terminals allow for easy system integration and speaker phase selection. The capacitors and inductors protect your speakers and keep transitions clean across bass, mid, and treble ranges.

FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
RMS vs. MAX power — which number do I actually care about?
RMS is what your gear handles continuously; MAX is the short burst it can survive without complaint. Match your amplifier's RMS output to your speakers' RMS rating — sizing off the MAX number is how magic smoke gets released.
What does the IP65 rating on DS18 marine gear actually mean?
It's dust-tight and rated against low-pressure water jets from any direction — built for spray, rain, and the occasional wave over the bow, not for full submersion. If something's going somewhere it could sit underwater, that's a different conversation entirely.
How do I match an amplifier to my speakers without guessing?
Add up the RMS rating of everything the amp will power, and pick an amp whose RMS output (at your speakers' impedance — usually 4-ohm) lands close to that total. Undersized is thin sound; wildly oversized is a fast way to blow a voice coil.
Can I mix marine-grade gear into a standard car audio setup, or the reverse?
You can run marine-grade gear in a car — it's just over-built for that environment, no downside besides cost. Running non-weatherproof car audio gear in an open UTV or boat is the direction that causes problems.
What gauge wiring kit do I need?
It scales with your amp's power draw and the length of the run — DS18's OFC kits come in 4-gauge and 8-gauge for a reason. Undersized wiring on a high-draw system is a voltage-drop and heat problem waiting to happen; when in doubt, size up.
