DS18 CF-8M
8" 2-Way Marine Speakers with Integrated RGB LEDs – 450W (Black Carbon Fiber) (Pair)
The DS18 CF-8M speakers were specifically designed for marine applications, combining impressive sound quality, extreme durability, and stylish design. With an IP65 rating, these speakers are fully protected against water, salt spray, UV rays, and extreme weather conditions, making them ideal for long-term use on boats, yachts, and watercraft.
The high-quality carbon fiber design with a 316 stainless steel grille not only provides a modern and sophisticated look, but also offers additional protection against corrosion and mechanical influences. The high-gloss, UV-coated injection-molded basket guarantees a long service life even under harsh conditions, making these speakers ready for any challenge at sea.
With an RMS output of 125W and a maximum power handling of 375W, the CF-8M delivers powerful and precise sound reproduction, even in open water environments with high ambient noise levels. The Y35 ferrite main magnet combined with reverse neodymium technology ensures powerful and crystal-clear audio reproduction. The high sensitivity of 93dB at 1W/m enables particularly detailed and balanced reproduction. With a frequency range of 45Hz to 23kHz, the CF-8M covers the entire sound spectrum, bringing your favorite music to life in impressive quality.
In addition to their outstanding performance, the CF-8M also features integrated RGB LED lighting, adding a unique visual dynamic to your marine sound system. With the optional DS18 LED-BTC controller or a compatible RF/BT/Wi-Fi controller (sold separately), you can customize colors and effects to your liking and immerse your boat in a spectacular light show.
With the DS18 CF-8M marine speakers you will experience maximum performance, stylish design and impressive lighting effects - the perfect choice for anyone who wants to enjoy exceptional sound and modern looks on the water.
