Midrange speaker for custom audio builds
The DS18 PRO-GM6 is a 6.5-inch midrange loudspeaker rated at 480 watts peak and 140 watts RMS. Its 8-ohm impedance and 92 dB sensitivity suit amplifiers that prefer higher load values. The single 1.5-inch Kapton voice coil handles sustained power without overheating.
Fits standard 6.5-inch openings with 2.52-inch depth
A 23-ounce magnet structure with rubber boot cover sits behind a black stamped basket. The paper cone and cloth surround keep the moving mass light for quick transient response. Builders must supply their own crossover network and enclosure to isolate midrange frequencies from bass and treble drivers.
Single driver only — no crossover or grille included
The package contains one PRO-GM6 speaker without mounting hardware, wiring or passive components. Installers need to design or purchase a suitable filter network and secure the basket with screws matched to the panel thickness. Buyers seeking a plug-and-play coaxial set or component kit with tweeters should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
What RMS power limit will I hit first when running this speaker continuously?
The RMS rating is 140 watts, so sustained output above that level risks overheating the 1.5-inch Kapton voice coil.
How hot or loud does the 23-ounce magnet structure get during all-day playback?
The high-temperature Kapton voice coil and rubber-booted 23-ounce magnet are built to dissipate heat, keeping thermal compression low during extended use.
Which amplifier impedance must my amp already support to drive this 8-ohm midrange?
Your amplifier needs to be stable at 8 ohms per channel to match the speaker's nominal impedance and deliver the rated 140 watts RMS.
