HYDRO 8" Marine Tower Speakers with RGB LED Lights & Pro Audio Loudspeakers - Carbon Fiber
The CF-X8PRO is DS18’s revamped compact wakeboard tower speaker designed to blast and outlast. These models have a new and redesigned clamping system that is much stronger overall than the previous model and their compact size makes these pods applicable to almost any sound system.
This upgraded model of the CF-X8 comes equipped with a Pro Audio Water Resistant Hybrid Mid-Range & Compression Driver Loudspeaker, the PRO-HY8.4B, for an expansive range of frequencies that get as high as 20KHz and as low as 80Hz. The neodymium magnets installed in the PRO-HY8.4B’s compression driver help establish a stronger motor/cone assembly guaranteeing these speakers will withstand the worst of the elements.
The CF-X8PRO has a larger voice coil with a higher potential for loudness over the standard CF complete pods which also adds great sound reproduction and extended longevity. The power handling ratings on these pods are 250 W RMS and 500 W MAX, which is double the standard NXL pod rating.
These tower speakers also have carbon fiber-style plastic and integrated RGB LED Lighting to complement the vibe of any system. The LED BTC (LED Bluetooth Controller) is sold separately and required to control the lights on this speaker.
If you’re looking to take your system to new heights, the CF-X8PRO is guaranteed to turn it up a notch.
