Product Overview
8” Hybrid Slim Loudspeaker With 1” Compression Driver Horn
The PRO-HY8MSL brings full-range power to tight installs. We’ve given you the best of both worlds: a high-output midrange AND compression driver, packed into a water-resistant, off-road–ready design that fits where others can’t.
HYBRID DESIGN FOR FULL-RANGE SOUND
This speaker pairs a treated cloth surround + water-resistant paper cone midrange with a titanium compression driver for powerful highs and rich mid clarity. Rated at 200W RMS with a 100Hz–20kHz response range, you get high SPL output across a wide bandwidth.
SHALLOW MOUNT. BIG SOUND.
With a mounting depth of only 3.15”, the PRO-HY8MSL is perfect for motorcycles, UTVs, SXS, Slingshots, and Jeep pods. It fits in tight panels and fairings while still delivering 97dB sensitivity for serious volume at any power level.
IP65 WATER-RESISTANT + SUN PROTECTED
The PRO-HY8MSL features upgraded treated cloth surrounds and a water-resistant cone. The included grille now has a sun- and water-protective cloth backing, and the entire speaker is IP65 rated to withstand anything you run into on- or off-road.
NEODYMIUM DRIVER + 3” HORN FOR MAX OUTPUT
Inside the 1” titanium compression driver is a neodymium motor, giving you fast, accurate highs in a compact form. The 3” horn helps project sound clearly through wind and road noise so your music cuts through—on the move or at full throttle.
8Ω COMPATIBILITY FOR EASY SYSTEM MATCHING
With a 8Ω impedance, the PRO-HY8MSL is easy to pair with aftermarket amps and crossovers. Upgrading your factory pods or building a custom system? It’s ready to get loud!
The PRO-HY8MSL is slim enough to fit anywhere, loud enough to lead, and built tough enough to survive your wildest rides.
