I give it to Digital Designs for coming up with something new and out of the box..I guess i am just not hip to the woodgrain thing. I am more of a metal or Titanium or Aluminum type dude. I have seen some rides that look real nice with woodgrain..I guess if you had a ton of woodgrain in your car or truck, box was made out of like Some kind of hardwood sure they would look slick..To each is own, I still like the old traditional Black subs...I like the different cone options, it is cool to have a sub company try to offer more than just plain black cones...DD is Stepping out of the old box..
