Product Overview
8″ Compact Wakeboard Tower Speakers with Hybrid Coaxial, RGB LED Lights, and Speaker Cover
The NXL-X8PRO is DS18’s pro-grade solution for UTVs, ATVs, marine builds, and wakeboard towers that demand it all—high-output sound, and rugged durability.
Built to Perform
Designed around our PRO-HY8.4B coaxial, this 8″ tower speaker delivers crisp highs, tight mids, and deep vocal projection even at high speeds. With a 4-ohm impedance, 1.5″ voice coil, and 1″ titanium compression driver powered by a neodymium magnet, the NXL-X8PRO reaches a frequency response of 80Hz–20kHz with 97dB sensitivity and pushes 250W RMS/500W MAX.
Die-Cast Clamps with 360° Rotation
Every speaker comes with an integrated adjustable clamp system for 1″–2″ bars with 360-degree swivel and optional buried or open wire routing. Need more? Use the CLPX2T3 adaptor for tubes up to 3 inches.
No tubular mount points? No problem. For flat surface installations, pair it with DS18’s FLMBPX flat mount bracket for a rock-solid install with vertical positioning and secure fitment—ideal for jet skis, decks, or roof panels.
RGB LED Lighting
RGB acrylic rings built into the cone and logo bring full illumination to your setup. But to unlock full control, you’ll need DS18’s LED-BTC Bluetooth RGB controller: when paired with DS18’s LED-BTC App on iOS and Android you get custom colors, light patterns, brightness, and music sync modes.
Marine-Ready Durability
Constructed from injection-molded PC+ABS, with a water-resistant paper cone, coated cloth surround, aluminum basket, and IP65 + UV protection, this speaker is made for saltwater, mud, dust, and sun. The NXL-X8PRO’s also come with premium CS-8 speaker covers to keep your gear protected when not in use.
