Designing a box for a pair of DD 510's


Recommended Posts

What's up guys, I'm looking at purchasing a pair of Digital Designs 510 subs. There's a guy locally that has a pair, and they were on my list of possible subwoofers for my build. I would prefer a pair of 512's or a better series such as the 3500+ series, but I figure this is my first build, and I will be okay with the pair of 510's. Anyhow, they are going into a 2010 Jeep Patriot, and I was wondering if anybody had any input as to box design. How much airspace do they like? What tuning should I go with? I can find recommended specs for most other subs, but around 15 minutes of searching, and I can't find anything solid on these. If anybody has any good input, and personal experience with them, I would greatly appreciate it.

For dd 10s shoot for 1.25-1.75 cubes net per driver after all displacement and keep the port area per cubic feet 14.5-16

Thanks for the input guys. Do you guys think they will handle the 500-600 RMS each safely?

honestly 500 rms per is the ceiling for those woofers. make sure its clean power. if you clip they wont last long.

Here is a suggestion for those 510s:

Enclosure Specifications:

Fb = 36 Hz
Vb = 2.9 ft^3

External Height = 16 in
External Width = 37.75 in
External Depth = 14 in

Port Width = 3 in

Cut Sheet List:

* All Dimensions in Inches.
* Wood Thickness is 3/4 for all Parts.

External Enclosure Parts:

Top & Bottom = 37 3/4 x 14

Left & Right Sides = 12 1/2 x 14 1/2

2x Front = 17 3/8 x 14 1/2

Back = 37 3/4 x 14 1/2

Shared Port Internal Assembly Parts:

2 x Front to Back = 11 x 14 1/2
2 x Extension = 9 1/2 x 14 1/2

Assembly guide (generic dimensions):

Important notes:

- The port needs 2 7/8" of free airspace in front of it for proper operation.

- Setting your amp subsonic filter to 28Hz is suggested.

DD's website has a how-to guide on boxes for thier subs. Here it is: http://www.ddaudio.com/tech-support/knowledge-base/dd-box-system.aspx

I swear that shit shot out into the parking lot too. Very dangerous, but fun.
