setup change: xxx15 to two dd3512d's

[Vasilios 0]

hello all, i currently have one dual 2ohm xxx15 in a snail shell designed enclosure wired to a bx1500d at one ohm. ive had this setup for about a year and it is very loud and sounds very good, but with this hobby, you all know how it goes; you always want to try something new and im still quite the bass-head..

ive wanted to try ddaudio for years and i think its about time. so, i was wondering if any of you guys would recommend the dd3500 series. ive always been a single-sub kind of guy, but 2 12s sound so intriguing because of the added cone area over a single 15, especially that of the dd variety, though the 9900

anyone??

It'll definitely be a change. Now a better change or not, I don't know nor I won't begin to say because I haven't heard neither driver in the enclosure you have.

1200 watts to each driver is plenty for daily driving.

I know I've read where people do enjoy the 3500 series to beat on daily.

I have not hear a dd3500 in a while but they were solid from my memory, I honestly do not feel the dd's are going to hold the clarity the XXX does, but their output will be greater

if your running that level of power, did you happen to look at the Stereo Integrity MAG D2?

im not too concerned with clarity right now just something a lil louder. im still very much in my bass-head "stage". ive just been wanting to try dd for so long and im finding any excuse to, lol.

ive thought about the new mags, but again, dd's drivers are just so sexy. perhaps next time on the mags.

i want subs i can beat the chit out of. people have told me that they run 3500's with 2kw daily and with 3kw-3.5kw for burping at comps.

i wont do any of that (yet), but you guys get the idea...i just want something new.

thanks for the replies and opinions.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

if you want a sub that takes a beating and are not to worried about clarity, look into the Incriminator Audio DP's

im fairly sure btnhfan on CA.com had some 3500s, i think he's on here too but his name is slightly different, like trex-btnhfan or something

whats going on tom?? (any word yet on another az meet?)

yeah btnhfan said he really loved them and were very good drivers.

so...thats good!

well gents, i just got off the phone with the owner of audioque (really nice old man, father of the owner of ddaudio).

we mustve talked for about 20-25 min and im sold...two 12 audioque hds it is.

theyre very, very similar to the dd9500s, which im sure you all know, cheaper than the dd3512s and a lot more powerful.

a really, really good driver for the money, i think.

they are very conservatively rated at 1kw rms. he says he has guys running 5kw-6kw to some for burps in comps and who knows, maybe someday i can enter one.

the 12s need about 2-2.5 cubes a piece, which is good, i can do that.

he also said that 1250 watts a piece will be fine on them daily.

yeah, way better choice than the 3512s...

sq can come later....im still young, lol.
