DS18 PRO-HY8.4B 8" Water-Resistant Hybrid Mid-Range Loudspeaker w/ Built-in Driver 500W 4-Ohm
The DS18 PRO-HY8.4B combines an 8" high-volume midrange with a titanium compression driver on the back — a full-range pro-audio "mega speaker" that gives you mids and highs from one loud, water-resistant unit. The water-resistant cone makes it perfect for motorcycles, boats, and everyday vehicles alike.
Why we recommend it
Instead of mounting a separate midrange and tweeter, the HY8.4B does both in one beautiful frame. The 8" midrange moves serious air while the built-in 1" titanium/neodymium driver handles the highs, together rated at 250 watts RMS (500 watts max) at 4 ohms with a strong 97dB sensitivity across a full 80Hz–20kHz range. The water-resistant cone battles the elements so you can run it out in the open.
Fitment & install notes
Sold individually (single speaker). Mounting depth 4.29", 7.1" cutout — confirm you have the depth before mounting. 4-ohm — easy to drive from most amps. Run a high-pass crossover around 100Hz.
