Single 8" midrange driver

The DS18 PRO-GM8 is an 8-inch midrange loudspeaker rated at 580W max and 190W RMS with an 8-ohm impedance. It uses a 1.5-inch high-temperature Kapton voice coil on a ferrite magnet structure. The cone is black paper with a cloth surround mounted in a steel basket. Sensitivity is 93 dB and frequency response spans 90-10kHz.

Verify mounting depth and impedance match

Before ordering, confirm your door or panel can accommodate a 3.2-inch mounting depth. Check that your amplifier or head unit is stable driving an 8-ohm load at the desired power level. Ensure the cutout diameter suits an 8-inch nominal basket. This listing includes one speaker only.

Steel basket and cloth surround durability

The black steel basket resists flex under high output while the cloth surround maintains cone control over extended use. Ferrite magnet weight is 30 oz, providing a strong motor for dynamic midrange reproduction. Spring terminals accept bare wire or crimp connectors for straightforward installation.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy mounting hardware or a crossover separately?

The listing includes one 8 inch PRO-GM8 midrange driver with a black steel basket, cloth surround and non-pressed paper cone. Mounting hardware and a crossover network are not included and must be purchased separately.

How do I decide between the 8 ohm version and other impedances?

This model is offered only in an 8 ohm nominal impedance with 190 W RMS and 580 W max power. Choose it when your amplifier is rated for 8 ohm loads; no other impedance option exists for this speaker.

What does the 93 dB sensitivity mean when the speaker is installed in a door?

At 93 dB /W/M the driver produces high output from modest amplifier power, so a typical car stereo amp will drive it to loud, clear midrange without needing excessive wattage.
