DS18 8" RGB LED Speaker Mounting Ring Waterproof

DS18 NXL-LRING8 is an 8-inch waterproof RGB LED mounting ring that bolts between your speaker and mounting surface to add color, visibility, and a custom illuminated look.

This mounting ring is built for audio systems that need a strong visual identity: it fits 8" DS18 NXL and CF series speakers, is sealed for marine and outdoor use when installed correctly, and works with the DS18 LED-BTC RGB control module or wired as a single-color LED ring without the module. The ring brings flexible lighting options to car, marine, powersports, and pro audio installs while maintaining a low-profile, durable assembly.

How do I install the NXL-LRING8 on my speaker?

Installation is straightforward: place the ring between the speaker flange and the mounting surface, align the screw holes, and secure the speaker as usual. Running the power or module wires requires access behind the mounting panel and basic wiring skills.

• Mounts between speaker flange and surface — no extra drilling if aligned with existing holes
• Fits DS18 NXL and CF 8" speaker profiles
• Requires routing of LED wiring to power source or RGB module
• Sealed design when gasketed and installed correctly for marine use

What lighting control options are available with the ring?

The ring accepts a DS18 LED-BTC RGB control module to unlock full-color app control, music-reactive modes, and patterns. If you prefer simplicity, you can wire the ring directly to a single-color power lead and use it as a fixed-color accent without the module.

• Compatible with DS18 LED-BTC module for millions of colors and app control
• Music-reactive and pattern modes available with the module
• Wire to one color without the module for a steady accent light
• Module sold separately — ring includes LED hardware and wiring ports

Is this ring durable enough for marine and outdoor use?

The NXL-LRING8 is engineered with sealed construction to resist moisture when installed with proper gaskets and mounting technique. It’s designed to withstand boat and powersports environments, but correct sealing and wiring are essential for long-term reliability.

• Sealed housing designed for marine and outdoor installations
• Use proper gaskets and sealant at mounting points for best protection
• Corrosion-resistant finish suited for wet environments
• Intended for use with DS18 speaker lines in boats, cars, and off-road vehicles

How do I choose the right size and compatibility details?

The NXL-LRING8 is sized for 8-inch DS18 NXL and CF series speakers. If you have different speaker diameters, DS18 also offers 6.5" and 10" rings to match other models in the lineup. Verify your speaker model and mounting depth before ordering to ensure proper fit.

• Available sizes: 6.5", 8" (this product), and 10" to match NXL/CF series
• Check speaker flange and hole spacing for exact fitment
• Consider clearance for wiring behind the panel when planning installation
• Works with both factory and aftermarket speaker grilles if clearance permits

Who is this for: The DS18 NXL-LRING8 is for car audio enthusiasts, marine installers, powersports owners, and pro-audio builders who want to add durable, customizable lighting to their 8" DS18 speakers. Choose it if you need a waterproof accent ring that supports full RGB control with the DS18 LED-BTC module or a simple single-color option when the module is not used. It’s ideal for anyone seeking a clean, factory-friendly illuminated upgrade that matches DS18 speaker lines and stands up to outdoor conditions.
