DS18 6XL650NB-4 XL 6.5" Neodymium Mid-Range Loudspeaker With Bullet 325 Watts Rms 4-Ohm (each)

DS18 6XL650NB-4 is a 6.5" neodymium mid-range loudspeaker with a bullet, built for high‑definition car audio where precise midband performance matters. It handles 325W RMS (650W max) at 4 ohms, delivering detailed vocal and instrument reproduction across a broad 80Hz–12.5kHz window.

• Nominal Diameter: 6.5" (165mm) – a standard midrange size that fits typical 6.5" openings, balancing cabinet space with midband clarity.
• Nominal Impedance: 4 Ohm – a common automotive load that pairs well with many amplifiers for efficient power transfer.
• RMS Power Handling: 325 watts – continuous power rating indicating how much sustained power the driver can reasonably handle in normal use.
• Max Power Handling: 650 watts – peak capability for brief transients without exceeding mechanical limits.
• Sensitivity: 97 dB (1W/1m) – higher efficiency means more output from a given amp power, aiding loudness in the cabin.
• Frequency Response: 80Hz–12.5kHz – broad midrange to high-end coverage, suitable for detailed vocal and instrument reproduction.
• Voice Coil Diameter: 2" (50.8mm) – larger coil helps sustain power handling and thermal management; Kapton former improves heat resistance.
• Cone Material: Non-pressed Paper – provides the midrange tonal character with controlled breakup and clarity.
• Magnet Material: Neodymium (11.4 oz) – compact, strong magnet for a lighter assembly with solid transient response.
• Bullet Material: Aluminum – contributes dispersion and upper-frequency extension for smoother overall coverage.
• Surround Material: Cloth – durable, compliant edge support that maintains stiffness under excursion.
• Basket Material: Aluminum, Satin Black – rigid frame minimizes flexing and distortion for clean midrange delivery.
• Mounting Details: Front Mount Baffle Cutout 5.9" (150mm); Mounting Depth 2.83" (72mm); Overall Diameter 6.7" (170mm) – installation footprint suitable for typical 6.5" openings with a compact depth.
• Recommended Crossover: High Pass 100Hz – guidance to protect the midrange from low-frequency energy that can mask clarity.
• Sold As: Sold in Pair or Single; Grill Included: No – flexible installation options for single or paired configurations.

In a car build, this mid-range shines as the dedicated middriver in a front-stage or multi-way setup, delivering articulate vocal presence and instrument detail. The combination of 4-ohm impedance, 97 dB sensitivity, and a generous 80Hz–12.5kHz bandwidth supports strong, clean midrange performance when paired with a appropriate amplifier and crossover, while the neodymium magnet, 2" voice coil, and aluminum bullet contribute to responsive transient behavior and controlled dispersion. The 5.9" cutout and 2.83" mounting depth provide installation flexibility in standard 6.5" locations, making it a practical upgrade for enthusiasts pursuing precise midrange performance without excessive bulk.
