The DS18 midbass loudspeaker is designed to deliver punchy, authoritative low-mid frequencies in car and pro audio setups. It’s ideal for systems where you need more mid-bass presence without relying solely on subwoofers.

This model handles up to 300 W peak, with 150 W RMS, and has an impedance of 4 Ω, making it compatible with a variety of amplifiers. The speaker’s sensitivity and strong voice coil help maintain clarity and volume even at lower frequencies.

It’s built with a ferrite magnet and a robust steel basket, designed for both durability and performance.

Key Benefits

• High power handling (150 W RMS / 300 W peak) gives you strong, clean mid-bass punch. 
• Wide frequency response (60 Hz–5 kHz) covers both low-mid and midrange tones. 
• High sensitivity (97 dB) means efficient sound output without needing extreme amplifier power. 
• Ferrite magnet ensures reliable performance and cost-effectiveness.

Installation & Compatibility

Thanks to its 4 Ω impedance and modest RMS rating, this midbass is flexible and compatible with a broad range of amplifiers — from dedicated mid/high amps to full-range units.

Ideal for use in door panels, custom enclosures, or pro-audio setups where you want added low-mid punch without a dedicated sub box.

Recommended to mount with good bracing and a proper high-pass filter around 80 Hz to protect both the speaker and your amp, and to get clean midbass response.
