DS18 8HD800NCFD-4 8" Water Proof Carbon Fiber Mid Bass and Driver Coaxial Hybrid Neodymium Magnet 4-Ohm (each)

Product Overview

Bring a high-output 8-inch mid-bass speaker and coaxial compression-horn driver together in one assembly with the DS18 8HD800NCFD-4. Its water-resistant carbon fiber cone and separate woofer and driver terminals suit audio builds for cars, boats, and motorcycles.

Key Features & Benefits

• Hybrid coaxial design: The built-in driver and compression horn pair midrange and high-frequency output in one speaker assembly.
• Water-resistant carbon fiber cone: The cone is designed for installations where moisture resistance matters.
• High sensitivity: The combined rating of 105 dB (1W/1m) supports efficient output in high-output systems.
• Neodymium magnet: This magnet material supports a compact speaker motor design.
• Four terminals: Separate midrange and driver connections allow crossover configurations to be planned around your system.
• Sold individually: Order the number of speakers your installation requires; a grille is not included.

Technical Specifications

Why Choose This Product?

The 8HD800NCFD-4 combines an 8-inch woofer with a coaxial high-frequency driver in a single assembly. That gives your build one mounting reference for both sections while keeping their impedance and wiring connections distinct.

Its water-resistant cone makes it an option to consider for moisture-prone vehicle, boat, and motorcycle installations. The 400W combined RMS and 800W combined MAX ratings help you assess power handling when matching the speaker to your system.

Installation & Compatibility Notes

Plan for the woofer’s 4 Ω impedance and the driver’s 8 Ω impedance separately when selecting crossover settings and system connections. The speaker has four terminals: two for the midrange and two for the driver.

The nominal diameter is 8" / 203mm. Check the mounting space and installation requirements for your specific vehicle or enclosure before purchase. A grille is not included.
