DS18 PRO-CF8.2NR 8" Carbon Fiber Water-Resistant Mid-Bass Loudspeaker 600W 2-Ohm

The DS18 PRO-CF8.2NR is an 8" water-resistant mid-bass loudspeaker with a neodymium motor and a high-tech carbon-fiber cone — a bigger cone for more punch, built to play out in the elements. Water resistance makes it a true do-anything driver: baggers and motorcycles, boats and marine, side-by-sides, ATVs, slingshots, and car audio.

Why we recommend it

Neodymium is the pros' choice for speaker motors, and the CF8.2NR is built around one, paired with a super-strong rubber surround and a carbon-fiber cone that looks sharp and shrugs off moisture. The 8" cone moves more air than a 6x9 for stronger midbass, handling 300 watts RMS (600 watts max) at 2 ohms with a strong 96dB sensitivity across a wide 63Hz–12kHz range.

Fitment & install notes

Sold individually (single speaker), no grill included. Mounting depth 3.2", 7.16" cutout. 2-ohm — pair with an amp that's stable at 2 ohms to unlock full output. Run a high-pass crossover around 80Hz.
