Product Overview

Description

The DXQ6C3N is the neodymium edition of the 3-way DXQ component set, matching 6.5" woofers and 3.5" midranges with tweeters and crossovers. The lighter neodymium motors make it the pick for door and pillar builds where depth and weight are tight. Power handling steps up to 180W RMS and 360W peak at 4 ohms with 91dB sensitivity, and the woofer uses a larger 1.4" Kapton voice coil.

Product Overview

DXQ6C3N

6.5" 3-Way Component Speaker Set with Neodymium Magnet and Yellow Straw + Composite Foam Cone — 180W RMS, 4-Ohm

The DXQ6C3N is a complete audio solution for professional-grade sound. This 3-way system — 2x woofers, 2x midranges, 2x tweeters, and 2x crossovers — covers a wide frequency range from 35Hz to 20kHz for an immersive, detailed listening experience.

The foundation of this system is the 6.5-inch woofer, crafted with a yellow straw and composite foam cone designed for a lightweight yet rigid diaphragm. This combination provides tight, accurate bass and mid-bass response while minimizing distortion and maximizing durability.

The 3.5-inch neodymium midrange driver bridges the gap perfectly. Its composite cone delivers smooth, natural sound that reproduces vocals and instruments with incredible clarity.

Completing the set is the 2.2-inch titanium-diaphragm tweeter with a powerful neodymium magnet. Its lightweight design allows for fast transient response and crisp detail that cuts through road noise.

A carefully designed 3-way passive crossover separates the frequencies between the woofer, midrange, and tweeter. With points at 800Hz and 3.8kHz, the crossover ensures each driver performs optimally across the entire spectrum.

With a mounting depth of just 3.4" for the woofer, and compact sizes for the midrange and tweeter, the DXQ6C3N fits most factory locations and custom setups effortlessly — instantly boosting your soundstage's quality.

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.
