Bronze Member Username: BassiloveuPost Number: 65 Registered: Dec-05 | Muddy where can i get 15 DD2500?? |
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Google is your Friend, FL Post Number: 4536 Registered: Aug-05 | check out www.ddaudio.com and click on the Dealer Locator. see if there are any in your area. if not you can make an order out through DD directly and they will offer you a 20% discount off of MSRP. orrrr oyu could call Zac Davis at Tinker Toy Customs. but i think it is against the rules for a dealer to sell out of his area. not sure on that one, i am sure Zac can hook you up.608-365-3500 |
Bronze Member Username: MendonmafiaMendon, Ny Usa Post Number: 28 Registered: Aug-06 | yo muddy i gotta say you seem like you are the most helpful guy on this forum. you deff helped me decide on a woofer. im deff gonna try to get a dd 2515 in my hands soon. but can you answer this one question for me i was wondering that if i tune my box to 33 hz does that mean i need a low pass crossover to block out all frequencies below 33 hz and will my sub basically not be able to hit anything below 33. and why wouldnt i want to tune my box to 20 hz to get the best lowend levels and pretty much the flattest response curve. |
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 1343 Registered: Feb-06 | a lp is meant to block freq. higher than you set it, so if you set it at 80 it want play higher than the 80, and i think all amps have a lp filter on it. you set the sub sonic to the tuning of your box or just below so the sub wont play lower than that. and why tune a box so low, it'd be the same as having a sealed box. and i think dd recommends tuning your box to 40hz, but i've read people tuning their boxes for their dd's from 36hz and up. |
Gold Member Username: Dustin3Tigard, OR U.S. Post Number: 3052 Registered: Oct-05 | i would tune those 2515's prolly to around 35. yes DD rec. you to tune it to 40, but above 38 IMO, the sub gets sloppy, and it misses the really deep notes. i would do 36 because it will get fckin loud, and still maintain some pretty good sq. the 2500 series is a pretty big spl woofer, and the ones i have heard dont have a ton of sq, but its nice. and yea, 20hz for a ported box would be funny, cause like mike said, its the same as having a sealed box. IMO, ports should be between 28-38 hz |
Bronze Member Username: MendonmafiaMendon, Ny Usa Post Number: 30 Registered: Aug-06 | but if i tune my box to 35 hz then i would lose all frequencies below that even though 20 hz is the lowest audible sound. but still dont some songs have bass notes that low? |
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Google is your Friend, FL Post Number: 4552 Registered: Aug-05 | no, you wouldn't lose the fequencies below 35hz, even if you have a sub-son set to 35hz, b/c a sub-sonic filter isn't a brick wall filter...there is rolloff. and i would suggest tuning it between 32-40, anylower and you might as well go sealed. oh, one more thing. the stiff suspension on the DD's will allowe the sub to play frew. below tuning w/o bottiming out. but i would watch the volume knob once you get like 8-10hz below tuning. |
Silver Member Username: FrkkevinLake Worth, Texas US Post Number: 403 Registered: Nov-05 | for a 15" 28hz is fine.. now I'd agree with that statement if it were a 12" |
Bronze Member Username: MendonmafiaMendon, Ny Usa Post Number: 32 Registered: Aug-06 | ok. thanx alot guys for all your help. im gonna try to get a 2515 in a 2.5 cu ft box tuned to 33 hz does that sound good to everyone. im gonna try to throw 1100 rms on it if i can get this amp from my buddy for cheap. |

Silver Member Username: Night_mirageAmmanJordan Post Number: 367 Registered: Jan-06 | how much are 3512 , 2512 .. and 2512 is 500RMS .. |
Bronze Member Username: MendonmafiaMendon, Ny Usa Post Number: 34 Registered: Aug-06 | according to Muddy they can handle 1200 clean rms watts but i wouldnt know though i dont have one yet. |
Bronze Member Username: Sb2012Iowa US Post Number: 48 Registered: Jul-06 | i know for the 2512 ive heard 500, 800, and 1200 |
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Google is your Friend, FL Post Number: 4555 Registered: Aug-05 | the 2500 series is rated at 500wRMS....which means if you played test tones all day with no break...it wouldn't blow. it is rated at 1000wRMS for music....b/c music is dynamic....and there isn't constant bass...on some song yeah....but not every. it is said on the DD forum....that if you know what you are doing...they will take up to 1500wRMS daily...i(with others) recommend no more than 1200wRMS so if you blow it up...you don't come crying back to me....USE COMMON SENSE |
Silver Member Username: Night_mirageAmmanJordan Post Number: 368 Registered: Jan-06 | okay but how much is it ?? 12" 2500 .. |
