DS18 6.5" RGB LED Speaker Mounting Ring - Waterproof

The DS18 NXL-LRING6 is a waterproof 6.5" RGB LED mounting ring that installs between your speaker and mounting surface to add vibrant, app-controlled or single-color illumination to car, marine, and pro audio systems.

This low-profile LED ring slips under compatible 6.5" speakers to create a custom illuminated bezel without modifying the speaker cone. It works with the DS18 LED-BTC RGB module for app-driven color selection and music-sync effects, or it can be wired to display a single fixed color if you skip the module. The ring is sealed for marine and outdoor use when fitted correctly and is sized to pair with DS18 NXL and CF series speakers.

How does the NXL-LRING6 mount to my speaker?

Installation is simple: the ring sits between the speaker flange and the mounting surface, secured by the same screws used for the speaker. No permanent cutting or complex brackets are required when used with matching speaker sizes in the DS18 range.

• Fits standard 6.5" speaker cutouts and DS18 NXL/CF series models.
• Screws pass through speaker and ring for a clean, flush install.
• Low-profile design minimizes interference with speaker depth.
• Sealed housing for moisture resistance when correctly installed.

What lighting options are available and how do I control them?

Choose between full RGB control using the DS18 LED-BTC module or a single static color by wiring directly. With the LED-BTC module, you get app-based color picking, brightness adjustment, and music-reactive patterns for dynamic lighting effects.

• Full RGB via LED-BTC module: millions of colors, patterns, and music sync.
• One-color option: connect power and ground to produce a steady hue without the module.
• Module sold separately — ring accepts standard RGB input wiring.
• Compatible with common aftermarket RGB controllers for integrated setups.

Is the ring suitable for marine and outdoor use?

The NXL-LRING6 is designed with sealed construction to resist moisture when installed according to instructions. Proper sealing of the mounting interface and connectors is essential for long-term marine or powersports use.

• Sealed housing helps keep water and salt spray out of the LED cavity.
• Use marine-grade sealant on the screw holes and connector entry points.
• Recommended for boats, off-road vehicles, and exposed audio locations when installed correctly.
• Avoid submersion; designed for splash and spray resistance, not full immersion.

Which speaker sizes and models pair with this ring?

The model NXL-LRING6 is sized specifically for 6.5" speaker applications and integrates with DS18’s NXL and CF speaker families. Larger sizes are available if you run 8" or 10" drivers.

• Designed to fit DS18 NXL and CF 6.5" speakers and similar flange dimensions.
• Also available in 8" (NXL-LRING8) and 10" (NXL-LRING10) sizes for other drivers.
• Measure your speaker flange diameter before purchasing for best fit.
• Works with both powered and passive speaker configurations.

Who is this for: The DS18 NXL-LRING6 is ideal for car audio enthusiasts, marine audio installers, and professional audio designers who want a durable, low-profile way to add customizable LED lighting around 6.5" speakers. It suits anyone wanting app-controlled RGB effects with the optional LED-BTC module or a simple single-color glow for accent lighting, provided the ring is installed and sealed correctly for outdoor or marine environments.
