PRO 8" 250W RMS 4-Ohm Slim Water-Resistant Midrange Loudspeaker PRO-SM8.4
This listing includes:
- (1) DS18 8" Marine Speaker Waterproof PRO-SM8.4
Built for motorcycles, powersports, and other demanding open-air applications, the DS18 PRO-SM8.4 is designed to deliver strong, clear midrange performance in environments where standard speakers struggle. With 250 watts RMS / 500 watts MAX, this 8-inch shallow-mount loudspeaker gives riders the output they need while maintaining a slim profile for tighter installs.
The PRO-SM8.4 features a water-resistant paper cone, dust cap, and coated cloth surround, helping it stand up to rain, moisture, and harsh outdoor conditions. Its IP66 water-resistant rating adds extra confidence for motorcycle audio systems and other exposed setups. A 97dB sensitivity rating helps this speaker play loud and efficiently, making it a strong choice for systems where high output matters.
DS18 designed this speaker with a 1.5-inch Kapton voice coil, 25 oz ferrite magnet, and steel basket for reliable power handling and durability. The 2.5-inch mounting depth makes it easier to fit into shallow locations where deeper pro audio speakers may not work. Whether you're upgrading a motorcycle fairing system or building a custom outdoor audio setup, the DS18 PRO-SM8.4 brings strong midrange projection, weather-resistant construction, and installation flexibility.
