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.
