makos22 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Hi to all. I just wanna let everyone know im new to the forum and too car audio. I've heard over a long period of time that DD is a great brand in general but ive mostly heard good thing about their subs and I was thinking of getting a DD3515 now ive asked a friend what cind of box i should build cause i want to tune it at a low frequency cause im a fan of low bass, and he told me that dd will go low even if i fix a box tuned a 36Hz or even 38Hz. and i just wanted to know if that is the case. Now a nother question is that if i run it on an RF 1500.BD would it be ok?

Supercharged DCs Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 I have a sc dd3515f, and I love it. My box is 4.5 cubes after displacements and tuned to 35 hz and it sounds great. I'm going to run it off an Aq 2200 soon, and im positive that it can handle that 1500.BD as long as you don't clip Quote Bassless once again. Can't seem to keep a system for more than a few weeks Saving for a '06 Nissan 350z, look for build around June 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low voltage doesn't blow amps. That's a myth. A router that does the sub holes makes rounded edges also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fecupe2001 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 I built a nissan sentra (trunk car) with a single DD 3515 and a DD m2, 145.3 @ 48 hz on the meter with a VERY musical box, i fucking love that sub man, 4-4.5 c/f and 72-80SQ of port it´s a kickass box for that sub, a 1500.1 it´s a very small power for that sub believe it or not, so yes it´s safe using that amplifier on your application Quote I´m the SPL Gains topic creator!! wanna get louder?? check this: SPL Gains.

You are correct my friend, but after a lot of testing, i can tell you this, 3500 and 9500 series LOVE more port than the DD´s webpage plans, remember they are intended for some basic daily application...

makos22 Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 About the amp Ive heard that rockford forgate amps are under rated and im sure that the amp will easaly go up to 1700 rms and maybe more so i think ill be alright for a daily soundsystem. Now about the box, you suggest 4-4.5cu will be ok? plus if you have any electrical upgrade suggestion that would be great cause all the electrical in my car is still stock.

Supercharged DCs Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Big 3 in 0gauge, get the biggest XS Power battery you can fit under the hood, and you should be alright Quote Bassless once again.

Now about the box, you suggest 4-4.5cu will be ok? plus if you have any electrical upgrade suggestion that would be great cause all the electrical in my car is still stock. Yes they are under rated, but also the sub is, i clamped 1700 watts to each 3518 and they´ve been getting the abuse for about a year now without any problems, i´m guessing that after impedance rise and voltage drops, you´ll get no more than 1000 watts if you are lucky, only way you blow that sub with that amount of power it´s if you clip it, so you are good to go!! About electrical, yes get the biggest XS power you can fit in the front, big3 , at least 1 pos and 1 neg runs from batt to amplifier and let´s pray it doesn´t drop that much, the car i talked about upgraded the stock alternator and changed that piece of crap for a Nissan Versa´s alternator, same one that i use on the Suzuki Swift, those things are MONSTERS , 140 amps for about 70$??? doesn´t get any better than that I would do something like 4.2 cubic feet and 74SQ of port if you are going with a slot, or maybe a single 8" PVC tube with some nice flares on the end, that should pound as hell, here´s a video from the car i talked about, that thing plays nasty even with 4 windows open, too bad the camera mic was a piece of crap when i taped that video, don´t worry, i´ll get you another one soon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WkWFAtI9KU Quote I´m the SPL Gains topic creator!! wanna get louder?? check this: SPL Gains.

zayres29 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Don't tune lower than 36 38 is probably a sweet spot and dds love port Quote Btw that was the first person. Ever banned by me while dropping a deuce. Feel privileged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
