Default DS18 speakers

Has anyone heard of or tried the DS18 line of speakers. Their specs look good on their stuff and they have waterproof speakers too.Bates08
I was just searching around looking and ran across them. They have equipment for Jeep, Boats, etc.
Just looking to see what people on here think about them.

www.ds18.com

Haze they are down in your neck of the woods anything?
Or any of the other guru's Gannicus, Tailwind, yooperhog, SBates08?
Don't mean to call anyone out but I know everyone here is always looking at something new and you guys always seem to be in the know.

Thanks for any and all input.

about 4 years ago my entire bike was DS18. PRV smokes them, I think they sound very cheap with extremely inflated specs.

I've never ran any of their stuff but I have heard a few different setups with them and didn't like what I heard.

Every ear is different but the DS18 stuff I tried was loud and that's about it. Jet engines are loud too, if u catch my drift.

I have a local guy that does a ton of builds with the Memphis Mojo stuff. I have a set of the Pro 6.5s that I tossed on there but since I have a clutch side mounted amp I had to abandon ship as the magnets are pretty husky and the speak would not fit.
Point being, there is a bunch of stuff out there that reputable shops are using thus glad ur thinking outside to avoid the very common tunnel vision we get on this forum.

So its back to what we know that works.

Now to get the cash to do it
