DS18 CF-8M Marine Speakers

An IP65 rating means these speakers are fully protected against dust ingress and can withstand low-pressure water jets from any direction. While they are built for marine environments and can handle splashes and rain, they are not designed to be submerged underwater.

No, these are designed for free-air mounting. This means they are engineered to perform optimally when mounted directly into a boat's hull or an open panel without needing a sealed box behind them.

The speakers come with integrated RGB lighting, but you will need a compatible LED controller to manage the colors and patterns. The controller is sold separately, so be sure to pick one up if you want to customize the visual effects.

Yes, the materials used in the CF-8M are UV-compliant. This construction is specifically designed to resist fading, cracking, and degradation caused by intense, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

These speakers handle 125 watts RMS. To get the best performance and clarity, you should pair them with an amplifier that can provide clean power close to that RMS rating, rather than relying on the lower power output of a standard head unit.

You will need a mounting depth of 3.25 inches and a cutout diameter of 7.06 inches. Always double-check your available space before cutting into your boat's panels to ensure a proper fit.
