Description
DS18 DXQ6C2
The DS18 DXQ6C2 is a premium 6.5-inch 2-way component speaker set engineered to deliver crystal-clear, full-range audio with strong bass, rich mids, and smooth highs for car audio enthusiasts seeking an upgrade over factory systems. This component set includes two 6.5″ woofers, two 2″ silk dome tweeters, and two passive crossovers that accurately split frequencies for precise sound staging. With a 4 Ω nominal impedance, 150 W RMS per speaker (300 W peak) and 90 dB sensitivity, the DXQ6C2 offers efficient, distortion-free performance across a wide frequency response of approximately 35 Hz–20 kHz. The woofers feature yellow straw and composite foam cones with rubber surrounds for controlled bass and improved durability, while the silk dome tweeters provide natural high-frequency clarity. The included passive crossovers operate at a 2 kHz point with a 12 dB/octave slope and offer tweeter attenuation settings for custom tonal balance, making the DXQ6C2 ideal for high-quality sound reproduction in custom or upgraded car audio systems.
