Midrange speaker for car audio
The DS18 PRO-X6M is a 6.5" midrange driver built for car audio systems that need clear vocal and instrument reproduction. It handles 225 watts RMS and 450 watts peak per speaker with an 8-ohm impedance. The 1.5" CCAR voice coil and 94dB sensitivity help deliver efficient output across a 118Hz to 10KHz frequency response.
Build and mounting details
The speaker uses a 6.6" overall diameter and requires a 5.7" baffle cut-out for installation. Mounting depth measures 3.6" so verify the door or panel cavity can accommodate that depth. The unit weighs 4.94 pounds and its physical dimensions are 6 x 6 x 2.75 inches, which determines the space needed behind the mounting surface.
Compatibility checks before ordering
Confirm your amplifier or head unit can drive an 8-ohm load at the required power level. Ensure the available mounting depth exceeds 3.6" and that the baffle opening matches the 5.7" cut-out specification. This model is a dedicated midrange driver; buyers who need low-bass extension or a coaxial design with an integrated tweeter should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
What does the 8-ohm impedance mean for amplifier matching?
The 8-ohm nominal impedance requires an amplifier rated for 8-ohm loads; the speaker handles 225 watts RMS and 450 watts peak.
Will the 5.7-inch baffle cutout and 3.6-inch mounting depth fit my door panel?
The baffle cutout is 5.7 inches, mounting depth is 3.6 inches, and overall diameter is 6.6 inches; verify your enclosure meets these dimensions.
How do I wire the 1.5-inch CCAR voice coil correctly?
Connect the positive terminal to the amplifier positive output and negative to negative; the 1.5-inch CCAR voice coil presents an 8-ohm load.
