Right under $400 bucks, but Im pretty sure that a 3512 is around $330, but I think prices may have went up.

There are usally alot on ebay tho. my buddy bought his two 3515s for $50 bucks each on ebay. A shop was selling them that was 30 minutes away and said they could not move 15s at their store at all and they had no idea what they where or what they could do. This is also the same shop that told me my 12 inch sub and amp was no name garbage and I pulled a 167db on their "100% accurate" audiocontrol mic in a box that was tuned for 32hz...

Here are some 12s on ebay.

I also might want to add that if Digital design prices are too high for you, you can go with AudioQue. It is DD's sister company. Pretty much the same soft parts and technology of DD but with a different basket design. www.audioque.com

From what Ive kinda been noticing is that audioque uses DD's old technology on their subs. So say DD is making the 9515F series, that means that audio que will be using their old 9515D series technolgoy.

But my 9512 is so old it doesnt even have the direct connect speaker wire on it or the woven tinsel leads and I still havent had a single problom with it, and it is still as stiff as a new DD.

EDIT: Take that back, they look to be using the same aluminum baskets that DD is using now. Their older baskets looked similar to a higher end Image dynamic sub.

Pretty much the only thing you are not getting when buying a audioque sub is the cooling that dd uses, and the ability to have as many custom coil configuratios. Otherwise you are getting the same cone, dustcap, erom surround, basket, magnet, and a cheaper price.

I called them and they told me they sell the 3515 for $387. I might spring for it. It's being a 15" Q and that sub. I for sure want to get a 15 though. Both have the right power handling, but the DD is $80 more before tax and shipping. But it's more unique, and I'm all for trying new stuff, so I'm likin it.

A couple links to some box builds:

Tahoe Box 1, Tahoe Box 2, Nissan Titan, VW GTI,

Mini-Bump, Hummer H2, Ford F-150

My own car builds (current setup --- under construction):

Overall Thread, Kickpods, Dash, Back Doors

Haha I've heard real good things about the SI, no doubt, but I've heard reaal good things about DD, and really do want to try them out...I'm hoping that 387 is with tax and shipping, she did ask me for my zip when I called. I'm gonna swoop one up though. Throw it in a 4.5 cu ft ABC box at 32-34 hz...should slamm
