DLS Reference Series

Looking for great sound quality at an affordable price point? The DLS 428's are engineered for quality and designed to please listeners. The separate filter boxes have a 6/12db slope for a smooth blend of mids and highs. These high sensitivity speakers will sound there best when paired with an amplifier that produces around 80 watts RMS. With such a wide frequency response range, you will hear details in songs that you have never heard before. The included speaker grilles will both protect as well as add a classic look to your vehicle. The 1" silk dome tweeter is very responsive, yet has a subtle presence for a great transition of notes between each driver. These lightweight speakers will awe you and your passengers, and you will never want to step down to anything but the DLS name.

These speakers have amazing sound quality. From clean mids and strong midbass to crisp highs. Even a little sub bass. It plays it all with accuracy and sounds awesome. What did impress me though, is that even at high volume (really, really loud) these speakers maintain their clarity!
