Description

Product Overview

Bring full-range car audio into a compact speaker location with the DS18 GEN-X5.25 5.25-inch 2-way coaxial speakers. Each speaker combines a paper woofer and 1-inch Mylar balanced-dome tweeter, giving you highs and midbass from one assembly.

Use the 4-ohm pair to upgrade factory speakers or integrate with a compatible 4-ohm factory amplifier. The coaxial design also avoids a separate tweeter installation.

Key Features & Benefits

  • 2-way coaxial design: The woofer and tweeter share one assembly for a straightforward speaker installation.
  • Mylar balanced-dome tweeter: The 1-inch tweeter handles high frequencies for detailed top-end sound.
  • Paper woofer: The lightweight cone provides midbass fundamentals for in-vehicle listening.
  • Rubber surround: The surround supports excursion control and durability under changing cabin conditions.
  • Protective construction: A steel basket and PC-ABS grille help protect the speakers in automotive environments.

Why Choose This Product?

The GEN-X5.25 combines woofer and tweeter functions in a single speaker, so you can add high-frequency detail without installing a separate tweeter. Its 50 Hz–20 kHz frequency response covers bass through high frequencies for a broad in-car listening range.

The stated 45W RMS per speaker and 90W RMS per pair give you a clear reference when matching the speakers to an audio system. The 4-ohm impedance suits compatible factory or aftermarket amplifier loads.

Installation & Compatibility Notes

Check that your mounting location has a 5.13-inch cutout and clearance for the listed top and bottom mounting depths. Confirm the amplifier supports a 4-ohm load and consider the stated RMS power ratings when selecting equipment.

The product details identify factory speaker upgrades and 4-ohm factory amplifiers as intended applications. Confirm your vehicle’s speaker fitment before installation.
