DS18 NXL-8M
8” 2-Way Marine Speakers With RGB LED Lights
The NXL-8M is the perfect upgrade for your boat, ATV, or powersport rig. These 8” beasts are built marine-tough with IP65 protection, UV-stable components, and a rugged ASA grille with stainless steel mesh.
Sonic Power
You get 125W RMS and 375W MAX of crisp, full-range sound—loud enough to drown out wind and waves without breaking a sweat. With a 93dB sensitivity rating, they stay loud and clear even at low power. The 25mm titanium dome tweeter, paired with the reverse Neodymium magnet, captures every note from 35Hz to 23KHz with stunning clarity and punch.
Ready to Shine
Integrated RGB LED lighting gives your setup a whole new vibe. Sync with DS18's LC-RGB (sold separately) to unlock full color control and animation.
Design That Goes the Distance
Crafted from high-temp injection-molded composite with UV protection, the NXL-8M is designed to last and stay looking sharp. The new silicone cover adds even more durability.
The NXL-8M delivers DS18’s signature style, performance, and attitude in one killer package!

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.
