WARNING
- Be Sure to carefully red and understand the instructions before atempting to install these speakers.
- For safety. disconnect the negative battery terminal from the battery prior to beginning the installation,
- For easier assembly. we suggent you run all wires prior to mounting speaker in place
- Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or power loss
- Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill gas tanks. fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when working on any vehicle. If installing in a boat. take care not to cut or drill through the mail hull.
- Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the vehicle or hull area provides the best protection.
- Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through metal especially the firewall.
MOUNTING
- Determine where the speakers will be mounted. Ensure an area large enough for the speaker to mount evenly. Be sure that the mounting location is deep enough for the speaker to fit: only mount to a flat surface. Use extra caution when mounting on panels with ureathane foam.
- Refer to the specification chart to determine the proper diameter hole to cut for the speake
- Mark the locations for the mounting screws. Drill the holes with a 0.75″ bit.
- Feed the speaker wires through the cutout and connect to the speaker terminals. Be sure to observe proper polarity when connecting the wires. The speaker’s positive terminal is indicated with a “+”.
- Fit the speaker and mount into place using six (6) screws.
- Tighten the screws until the speaker is snug in place
- LED CONNECTIONS There are two options to choose from:

FAQs
What are the benefits of DS18 HYDRO NXL-8M coaxial speakers?****
Coaxial loudspeakers in professional audio enable sound from two drivers to come from a single source. This characteristic allows for a wider field of listening to a synchronised summation of speaker drivers than loudspeaker enclosures with physically isolated drivers.
Are the coaxial speakers on the DS18 HYDRO NXL-8M full range?****
Coaxial speakers are frequently referred to as “full-range” speakers because they can reproduce a wider range of audio frequencies from a single speaker. Despite being combined to save space and money, the drivers in these speakers are the same as those in component speakers.
Can speakers be used with DS18 HYDRO NXL-8M coaxial cable?****
Coaxial cables are quite common and may be found in any home today. They can be utilised for the transmission of audio and video signals, as well as speaker cables, TV antennae, modems, cable boxes, and cable.
Do DS18 HYDRO NXL-8M coaxial speakers require a crossover?****
If your car’s audio system uses coaxial speakers, you typically don’t need a second crossover. Passive crossovers found in full-range speakers already filter the frequencies before they reach each driver. Even if you add an amplifier, the built-in speaker crossovers should be more than adequate.
Better than DS18 HYDRO NXL-8M coaxial speakers?****
Coaxial speakers are a wonderful choice if you’re looking for an all-in-one, affordable solution. However, they often have inferior sound quality than component speakers since the tweeter and woofer are frequently not as well- matched as individual units.
Need an amplifier for DS18 HYDRO NXL-8M coaxial speakers?****
Your car radio may power coaxial and component speakers without the use of an amplifier. To get the most out of your speakers, an amp will allow you to get a much clearer sound without distortion, a louder volume, and power for a subwoofer.
How do coaxial speakers from DS18 HYDRO NXL-8M operate?****
Coaxial speakers, as was already noted, feature an integrated tweeter that enables them to provide a diversity of sounds from a single pair of speakers. Because component speakers are made to accommodate a certain kind of sound, they operate differently and produce considerably superior sound.
How are the coaxial speakers on the DS18 HYDRO NXL-8M wired?****
The red (or positive) connector on the speaker must receive the core conductor wire. Put the other end of the cable in your hands and connect it to the receiver or amplifier’s port with the same color.
Are tweeters necessary for DS18 HYDRO NXL-8M coaxial speakers?****
A coaxial automobile speaker is a two-way speaker system that combines a crossover, a tweeter, and a woofer into a single speaker assembly.
Which direction should DS18 HYDRO NXL-8M coaxial speakers face?****
Coaxial speakers are generally seen in the back of vehicles.
What do 2-way coaxial DS18 HYDRO NXL-8M speakers do?****
Coaxial speakers are those that are wrapped around one another. A typical two- way coaxial speaker has a woofer and a tweeter in the centre. The woofer handles the lower frequencies, and the tweeter handles the higher frequencies.
Is break-in necessary for DS18 HYDRO NXL-8M coaxial speakers?****
Even though it is true that a speaker’s suspension may loosen with time, there is no need to play a speaker at half power or low volumes for an extended period of time in order to facilitate or ease into this.
Can a DS18 HYDRO NXL-8M coaxial speaker have a tweeter added to it?****
Without a doubt, you can add those tweeters. You will require a high pass filter to stop blowing the low frequencies. Your biggest obstacle will be the placement, but it’s typically a wise choice.
What do the coaxial speakers DS18 HYDRO NXL-8M mean?****
a loudspeaker with the high-frequency reproducer situated directly above and on the same axis as the low-frequency reproducer (as a high-frequency horn mounted in a paper cone speaker)
What do 2 way coaxial DS18 HYDRO NXL-8M speakers do?****
Simply described, a coaxial speaker combines a woofer and a tweeter into one unit. The three-way version includes an additional midrange driver. The tweeter and midrange speaker are mounted on a pole that extends to the center. They now have quick and easy access to the entire audio spectrum.
