DS18 CF-65M
6.5" 2-Way Marine Speakers with Integrated RGB LEDs – 375W (Black Carbon Fiber) (Pair)
The DS18 CF-65M were specifically designed for marine applications and offer a perfect combination of rugged durability, modern design, and impressive sound quality. With an IP65 rating, these speakers are fully protected against water, salt spray, UV radiation, and extreme weather conditions, ensuring reliable performance even in the harshest marine or outdoor conditions.
The high-quality carbon fiber design with a 316 stainless steel grille not only gives the speakers an exclusive look, but also provides additional stability and corrosion protection. The high-gloss, UV-coated injection-molded basket was specifically developed for long-term use in harsh conditions and guarantees lasting resistance to sun, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
With an RMS output of 100W and a maximum power handling of 300W, the CF-65M delivers powerful, detailed sound reproduction. The Y35 ferrite main magnet combined with reverse neodymium technology ensures exceptionally precise and powerful acoustics that cut through every wave. Thanks to a sensitivity of 91dB at 1W/m, even the finest details of your music remain crystal clear, while the wide frequency range from 45Hz to 23kHz creates a full and rich sound.
The integrated RGB LED lighting makes these speakers not only a sonic but also a visual attraction. With the optional DS18 LED-BTC controller or a compatible RF/BT/Wi-Fi controller (sold separately), the LED lighting colors and effects can be customized to further personalize your marine sound system.
Experience powerful sound, stylish looks and impressive lighting effects with the DS18 CF-65M marine speakers – the perfect choice for those who want to not only hear but also see what great sound means on the water.
