Know before you buy
The DS18 PRO-FR8NEO is sold as a single unit, so you will need to purchase two if you are outfitting both sides of your vehicle.
This speaker covers a frequency range of 160Hz to 12.5KHz. Because it is designed to focus on mid-to-high frequencies, you will likely need a dedicated subwoofer to handle the deep bass notes.
The speaker has a mounting depth of 2.97 inches. We recommend measuring your door cavity and checking for window clearance before purchasing to ensure it fits properly.
Neodymium magnets provide a much higher magnetic flux density than standard ferrite magnets. This allows the speaker to be lighter and more efficient while maintaining high power handling and clarity.
With an RMS power handling of 250 watts, this speaker is designed for high-output systems. An external amplifier is highly recommended to provide the clean, consistent power required to reach its full performance potential.
The integrated silver bullet acts as a phase plug, which helps disperse high frequencies more effectively. This design choice results in a wider, clearer soundstage for the listener.
