E a r t h Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 I wonder if a balsa wood cone would be possible.I know it's light, but they might have to strengthen it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaxfire69 Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 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..

Guest MegaloManiac Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Yamaha ns10s where made out of wood. apparantly its made from an extinct tree The guy at guitar center told me. He was like these are the most naturalist sounding speakers you can buy if you can still find it. well i went home and did some more research turns out they suck ass, they sound muddy and are just plain out wack. guy at guitar center was an idiot from what i gathered.

kingsuv Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Well really, all paper cones are made from wood I can see how this sub could look right in the right setup. If you want your car to look like a gym floor. Quote Designing, building, and shipping boxes.

I mean the first minute is ok but that thing just really starts digging deeper and deeper in your earhole till you cant stand it no more. Seems like it does it with relative ease....16 12's on 8 amps.........gotta love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
