Description
The DS18 8PRO300MB-8 is an 8-inch mid-bass loudspeaker built for high-output car audio systems, delivering punchy bass and clean mids up to 5 kHz. With 150W RMS (300W max) into an 8-ohm load and a sensitivity of 97 dB (1W/1m), it pairs strong output with manageable amplifier demand.
- 8" nominal diameter: 8" / 203mm driver designed for mid-bass duties in automotive installations.
- Nominal Impedance: 8 Ohm – provides a stable load for typical car amplifiers and flexible wiring options.
- RMS Power Handling: 150W – continuous input rating to sustain loud playback without thermal strain.
- Maximum Power Handling: 300W – supports brief peaks without distortion when driven by capable amps.
- Sensitivity: 97 dB (1W/1m) – higher sensitivity means more output from less power, aiding high-SPL builds.
- Frequency Response: 60 Hz – 5 kHz – covers bass fundamentals and extends into the lower midrange for a cohesive front-stage.
- Voice Coil: 1.5" diameter, Kapton former, CCAW winding – engineered for heat tolerance and reliable excursion at high output.
- Constructions & Materials: Cone Paper; Dust Cap Paper; Surround Cloth; Basket Steel; Magnet Ferrite – a durable, cost-effective build for long-term performance.
- Physical dimensions: Overall 8.2" diameter, Depth 3.8" (3.6" mounting depth), Front-mount cutout 7" – enables compatibility with common mounting substrates and standard cutouts.
- Weight: 5.5 lb per unit – relatively lightweight for an 8" mid-bass driver.
In a car installation, the DS18 8PRO300MB-8 provides the dedicated mid-bass portion of a high-output system, delivering bass presence and clear midrange without excessive power demand. Its 8-ohm impedance and 97 dB sensitivity help balance system efficiency with loudness, while the 60 Hz low end and 5 kHz high end give you fundamental bass through to lower midrange, enabling coherent integration with treble drivers. The 1.5" voice coil, Kapton former, and CCAW winding support reliable heat management during extended listening, helping preserve dynamics at higher volumes. With a front-mount cutout of 7 inches and an overall diameter of 8.2 inches, it installs in common automotive mounting spaces without requiring unusual space.
