Installation Notes

The NXL-6M/WH is designed for marine and powersports applications and fits most standard 6.5-inch speaker openings. For the best long-term reliability, use marine-grade wiring and stainless-steel hardware when installing in boats or other high-moisture environments. To control the integrated RGB lighting, you'll need the optional DS18 LC-RGB Bluetooth controller (sold separately).

Pro Audio Center Tip

One of the biggest mistakes we see in marine installations is using standard automotive wiring. Even with marine-rated speakers, ordinary wire and connectors can corrode over time in wet environments. Using marine-grade wiring and sealed heat-shrink connectors helps protect your investment and keeps your system performing season after season.

Complete your installation with:

• DS18 Marine Amplifier

• Marine Amplifier Wiring Kit

• DS18 LC-RGB Bluetooth LED Controller

• Marine Subwoofer
