August 26, 2021 -- The DS18 Hooligan X15 has already been proven to provide top-end performance and bass for six years now, on the streets and in the lanes. Hooligans have been a choice of music lovers and competitors alike.

We have taken the Traditional Hooligan and revamped it in our newest revision, the Hooligan X15 High Excursion subwoofer. This model features long throw pole, larger spider, and high excursion surround to lower the FS of the speaker making it louder at subsonic frequencies. This massive sub will be great for high powered music or SPL. A FS of 26 will ensure deep lows down to 20hz and great punchy bass up around 40hz depending on your box tuning. This subwoofer is rated at 4000w RMS and 6000w max so your vehicle will require electrical upgrades and large wire.

This sub will be friendly to 4th orders, 6th orders, ported boxes, and large sealed boxes and can be used in most applications that has room for the box. With a 59mm one way XMAX, this sub is sure to pump out extreme decibels with the proper power and box setup. We recommend a tuning of 25-35hz for ported boxes depending on your goals.

If you are looking for extreme bass and massive power look no further than the Hooligan High Excursion line. This Hooligan variant will be sure to start you on your way to high volume hairtricks and massive lows.

Here are the highlights:

  • High powered 4-Inch Black Aluminum voice coil handling 4000w RMS and 6000w max power for heavy hitting competition bass.
  • We have added a large high excursion surround to help with the high pole to pole flex this subwoofer has giving it has a 59mm one way xmax!
  • We have also added a larger spider that helps lower the FS (Resonant Frequency) so this sub plays lower much louder than previous versions.
  • 4 inch black aluminum voice coil handling a massive 4000w RMS and 6000w peak will be sure to get this subwoofer moving with hurricane wind forces.

The DS18 Tooled Black basket is one of the slickest and best looking baskets on the market. Not only extremely strong but looks great so you can use plexiglass or mount inverted on your box to see the show quality frame and motor topped off by a carbon fiber dust cap.

Huge 500oz magnet will help the voice coil receive and handle the massive power this sub requires with high efficiency and durability.

Six hooligan x15s are powered by Six DS18 SPLX amplifiers at 18 volts tthat bring this beast to a window shattering 166.3 db!

To complement all this bass, we installed stunt walls in the side windows that lift up, rear hatch that props open, and rear facing wall full of DS18 pro audio speakers that can be heard for miles. DS18 was very happy to see all the love and support from the customers we consider family. We can’t wait for Slamology 2020.

August 1, 2019 -- Naturally one of the biggest states in The USA will also have one of the largest shows in The South, Texas Heatwave. DS18 was there in full force as one of the leading and largest vendors of the event holding over 100 ft of space and 4 tents showcasing manufacturer and customer demo vehicles for the public to come see! These demo vehicles were brought so they can feel some serious DS18 BASS through their bodies! Show goers and car enthusiasts alike traveled from all over the world so they wouldn’t miss one of the longest running events in the South. Texas Heatwave has been running for over 30 years so we at DS18 felt privileged to be part of such an awesome event!

DS18 has a multitude of vehicles that spectators could enter to feel what high powered and high intensity bass feels like. These demo vehicles break 160db easily with up to 30k watts of power and literally vibrate everything near them, violently. These vehicles were designed to show exactly what DS18 equipment can do in professionally installed SPL setups. Team DS18 showed up in strong force with many southern team members coming out to show all their support and DS18 equipped custom rides by giving demos all day long, showing off equipment, and competing in the lanes.

The show was filled with amazing custom rides from huge monster trucks to fully tricked out minibikes.

April 24, 2019 -- DS18 Audio in Miami, Fla. is one of the leading audio manufacturers in the USA. We produce a plethora of custom vehicles yearly from some of the most skilled fabricators in the world. The DS18 Mustang is an amazing addition to our massive lineup of trucks, cars, UTVs, and boats. We chose this amazing monster of a mustang because it is indictive of true American muscle and we wanted to fill it with the most amazing audio and electronic products we offer. The Race Red paint is complemented by a huge Spirit of the Wolf DS18 vinyl decal. This car is a true classis and is why we are sending it to SEMA 2019 for the world to enjoy. This American beauty has more than 100 hours labor in it and has been officially dubbed as “The Red Mus” from us here at DS18 and is owned by our star fabricator Diego Navarro.

Bass:

We put 4 Elite 10” Subwoofers in a custom vinyl wrapped box to match the black and red colors of the mustang and make this road beast rock out like a true concert on demand. We chose these amazing subs for their 750w RMS handling and their beautiful carbon fiber cones and red DS18 logo to bring out the true beauty in this amazing build.

Two of our most efficient class AB Gen X3700.4 RANGE CLASS AB 4 CHANNEL AMPLIFIERS are what everyone needs for crystal, loud midrange, and high range vocals. Tuned for the highest quality sound, the amazing output of these sturdy amps will be unmatched. A 2.2 Ah Lithium is neatly hidden away to give the maximum amperage these power houses take, and it is in such a convenient size that it can fit in one hand and power 4000w rms!

2 EXL-MM84NB NEODYMIUM FULL RANGE LOUDSPEAKERS in the trunk wall and 2 TW-320 1.5" PRO ALUMINUM SUPER BULLET TWEETERS are built into the rear trunk lid to complement the midrange ear piercing high range frequencies and can be heard nearly ¼ of a mile away! These are our highest end mid-range neo available. The Neo magnets are the strongest in the audio industry today and create a much stronger action force in the motor gap on lower power for a sound like you are at a concert without having to use huge amplifiers.

SQ Speakers:

Our DELUXE3C 6.5" 3-WAY SQ COMPONENT SYSTEM and DELUXE2C 6.5" 2-WAY SQ COMPONENT SYSTEM are carefully fabricated in new locations that produce the highest quality sound from our bestselling SQ component models.

Multi-Media:

Opening the rear, you will be stunned by a 10” LCD Tablet mounted on the trunk lid that controls all the multimedia for the trunk stunt wall, so all your music and video needs are available by touch throughout the vehicle.

Suspension, Wheels, Body effects, and Interior Mods:

The adjustable air suspension is controlled from the cockpit or wirelessly with ease to lower and raise the vehicle for the lowest of stance and the smoothest of rides. A set of 20 Inch staggered wheels gives this machine gives this American machine a low no nonsense street posture. Rear Louvers and DRL Halo lights bring out the true classic traditional muscle of this mustang in a beautiful fashion that riminess the classic form of the ford tradition. The highest end of Radar Detectors is hidden for a fast and safe journey down the Miami highways. The DS18 Blackbox front facing dash cam records every bit of action in HD so no action is missed during huge car shows or to protect you and your liabilities on the highway.

6-12-2017 -- DS18 is entering the Marine, ATV & UTV market with its all element series called HYDRO. DS18 realized that the power-sport category was growing and they couldn’t resist the opportunity. HYDRO is an all-inclusive speaker line that has all the necessary components to make builds loud and unique. It is IP65 Marine Grade Compliant and boasts 100% UV Protection.

The HYDRO line is comprised of 2-Way Coaxial Speakers in 6.5” and 8” configuration with titanium dome PEI surround tweeters, as well as the option for a 10” Subwoofer. Along with these speakers DS18 has included top of the line towers that can come pre-loaded with their HYDRO speakers, or empty to give the customer the option to fill their stylish pods with any speakers they want. All speakers and towers include built in RGB lights and come in three colors; Black Carbon Fiber Finish (metal mesh grill), Glossy Red (sporty black grill), or Glossy White (sporty white grill).

This Series makes builds different in every way. DS18 thought ahead of the curve and went all in with Hydro, taking it beyond our wildest imagination. Hydro can be used in many applications from boats, jet-skis, side by sides, motorcycles, and even in Jeeps. This is where they got the idea of building the DS18 Jeep, “Mr DS18” as they call it. This Jeep has all hydro speakers in it with a custom made Rear Roll bar to mount 4 Hydro CFTP8 – 8” Tower Speakers facing the rear, and in the middle of the Jeep they mounted 2 Hydro CF8 – 2-way 8” Coax Speakers facing downwards in the factory location, but a custom job was necessary to fit the 8” in the factory sound bar. DS18 also added 2 Hydro NXL6 – 2-way 6” Speakers in the front to replace the factory dash speakers. Remember all the Hydro Series Speakers have built in RGB led lights, so it is essential to have the grill on for protection.

Miami, Fla. -- DS18 is the originator of a great many original Jeep products around the world. We have Jeepers from the USA, to Saudi Arabia, and even as far as China. We have a deep passion for all things jeep and our fans asked us for a box that can be out of the way and leave them storage space but also retain a lot of cone area for that hard-hitting bass feeling. We have released another option for these Jeepers and that is the JSUB L+R.

These two boxes fit on the sides of the jeep in the rear cargo space that fit snug against the vehicle interior wall. They come with pre-run speaker wires and RGB-LED terminals to make wiring easy. They do not come with any RGBs, but our LRING 12 is a great option for a 12-inch subwoofer LED ring. These boxes come in a hardened plastic polymer that can withstand the roughest of treatment and water resistant with one cubic foot of internal air space. The box is also filled with a sound deadening foam to help with bass resonance and acts as a sound deadener for even better sound and kills rattles. There are also DS18 inlays so you can have the logo shown for all to see and can also be bought in singles left side or right side.

The technology provided by this enclosure when both paired together increase the bass more than three-fold because of the bass waves that are emitted from the sides of the Jeep and meet in the middle for a more complete, punchy, and louder bass volume. Be sure to check out that amazing dual box combo only on DS18.com. MSRP $699.95 a pair.

December 9, 2019 -- Miami, Fla. -- Our marine and power sports crowd always demand the loudest bass and clearest sound quality because open cabin environments don’t have the walls that normal enthusiasts take for granted in their audio builds. Without these “walls” the cabin losses dynamic range and tuning drastically. We have solved this with the long-awaited waterproof IP65 rated and massive NXL10TP 10-inch tower pods. These pods come with integrated RGBs and tweeter that are aesthetically tucked away in the grill to bring the full range of frequencies to your surroundings. We have made these powerhouses in 4 different colors to match all your color coordinating needs with Black, White, Red, and Carbon Fiber. The DS18 emblem glows brightly with your choice of color combinations that hooks up easily to our separately sold LED-BTC. The star of the show is the 10-inch waterproof full range speaker that has been meticulously tested and designed to bring you that low bass you’ve never heard before from a tower pod and also play all the midrange and mid bass you could ever ask for. The 6-inch passive resistor helps this monster attain lower levels of bass that usually only subwoofers can produce. These tower pods are a high heavyweight contender that require 300w RMS and can take up to 900w peak wattage with without breaking a sweat. With that much power, you can be heard all the way across the lake or trail with loudly for all to hear. There is even more bass response from these amazing pods because we have included a high flex passive radiator that not only makes bass sound great but is very cool to look at! The 45hz-22khz frequency response will make your ears tingle as most pods do not have this wide a frequency range so you can be sure you are the top of the party with the loudest music! Be sure to check out these speakers soon on DS18.com!

There is plenty of power behind this versatile receiver. At 4 ohms this unit offers 4x15 watts RMS and 40x4 max power which is generally enough to power all entry level speakers, but to get the maximum output from this amp, you will need amplifiers and higher quality speakers to handle the power.
