DS18 6OCT300-8 Octagonal 6" Mid-Bass Loudspeaker 300 Watts Rms 8-Ohm (each)

DS18 6OCT300-8 Octagonal 6.5” Mid-Range Loudspeaker is built for serious car audio builds that demand wide bandwidth and precise imaging. Its octagonal frame and 80 Hz–10 kHz response deliver a tangible soundstage with 95 dB sensitivity and robust power handling.

• Nominal Diameter: 6.5" (165 mm) cone fits standard 6.5" openings; octagonal shape aids alignment and dispersion.
• Nominal Impedance: 8 OHMS — compatible with a wide range of amplifiers and crossovers without excessive load.
• RMS Power Handling: 300 Watts — sustained power capability to reproduce dynamic music without distortion.
• Maximum Power Handling: 600 Watts — handles brief high-power peaks without clipping when driven by suitable amplifiers.
• Sensitivity: 95 dB (1W/1m) — high efficiency for louder output with less power, improving perceived volume in real-world installs.
• Frequency Response: 80 Hz–10 kHz — extends from low bass regions into the upper midrange, aiding a cohesive mid/high presentation.
• Recommended Hi Pass Crossover: 120 Hz — helps protect the midrange from sub-bass, preserving clarity and reducing distortion.
• Voice Coil Diameter: 2" / 50.8 mm — larger coil area supports better heat dissipation during demanding passages.
• Voice Coil Former Material: TIL; Winding Material: CCAW; Basket Material: Aluminum — rugged construction tailored for reliable performance in automotive environments.
• Weight: 6.5 lbs — compact mid-range driver that remains manageable for mounting in typical door or kick-panel spaces.
• Mechanical Dimensions: Front Mount Cutout 5.8" / 148 mm; Mounting Depth 3.4" / 87 mm; Overall Diameter 6.6" / 170 mm — practical for tight installations with predictable mounting depth.
• Thiele–Small Parameters: Vas 9.55 L; Xmax 4 mm; Fs 120 Hz; Qms 5.975; Qes 0.999; Qts 0.855; Re 5.87 Ω — detailed electrical characteristics for precise enclosure and crossover design.

With 8-ohm impedance and 300 W RMS handling, it pairs well with high-quality amplifiers in a two-way front stage, offering headroom for dynamic music while minimizing distortion. The 80 Hz–10 kHz range provides solid mid-range presence and vocal clarity, making it suitable as a component mid-range in a tuned system or as an upgrade for enthusiasts seeking wider bandwidth and improved imaging. The octagonal design, combined with a manageable mounting depth and cutout size, facilitates accurate alignment and easy installation in doors or kick panels, delivering a more focused and natural soundstage in the vehicle.
