Gold Member Username: JohnfiacA-ToWn, Kingkong ain... I got Chuck ... Post Number: 3134 Registered: Mar-06 | I want to make the sub more musical rather then loud. I know its not a SQ sub but it will be used SQL but im not going for the high #'s only the low bass, my question is how would a DD9515 sound in a 32hz box? Has anybody tried it? I will still use the rec. port area for each sq. ft. so 6cu@32hz with 96sq. in. of port area. I sent DD a email asking about it but havnt got a response yet. Using Aeros as well |

Post Number: 3140 Registered: Mar-06 | I have a bit of expierience but i want it GAURANTEED on the first time because of the difficulty this install will be, im doing looks and quality install. I rather it get low as it can over as loud as it can because i dont want SPL destroying this ride like the blazer. I heard somthing before saying the DD's dont like doing anything lower then 40hz but i may have misread it or it was being compared to the BTL 18 i forget what it was..... Also does anyone think it would be a good idea to remove the subwoofer that comes with the car? Removing it would give more airflow to the cabin IMO, its like a 6-8" sub in the center of the back under the window. Also it would stop the speaker from punching out from the bass...IMO it makes it sound sh1ty like that |

Post Number: 3148 Registered: Mar-06 | im going to do 36hz now to.... im hoping it is about guaranteed thats why im asking for people who have tried these before me. The first box i built for the subs was excellent and was based on a design i got from DJ Langford. I only ended up changing the thickness of the wood since i couldnt find what i was looking for 1inch thick mdf sheets...and i added like 6inchs more port area |

Gold Member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 1309 Registered: Sep-06 | i personally have no exp with DD or AQ. however ive read that with the higher tunning they still play down low pretty well, however when you tune low you sacrifice a lot more SPL than low-end extension you gain. so to me it would seem that anything below 34 or so with that sub would be sacrificing more spl and only gaining slight low-end. |

Gold Member Username: JohnfiacA-ToWn, Kingkong ain... I got Chuck ... Post Number: 3151 Registered: Mar-06 | Naw i love the DD, im doing 36hz. Im gettin help from a lil some one again  it sshould turn out nice, and Trey i want to lose some SPL because these subs destroyed my last ride. Im not about to ruin a $26,000 car.... i want more SQ out of the subs AND sacrifice the SPL if i needed to i could always do 2 15's. If i do that i would get 2 Zx1500.1's but if im going with 1 sub im going with the Zx2500.1 |

Gold Member Username: JohnfiacA-ToWn, Kingkong ain... I got Chuck ... Post Number: 3152 Registered: Mar-06 | similar to yours? what kind of ride do u have |
|
Bronze Member Username: JayzbentIL. USA Post Number: 32 Registered: May-07 | I meant as in power and single sub setup. Actually I have a 94 Integra GSR Hatch. I am running a Orion XTR Pro 2400 on my DD9515. Or I should say will be I just got the sub today I have to recone it for this amp. Sub had a blown coil. But got it cheap. |

New member Username: CsuhoNashville, Tn Post Number: 2 Registered: Jun-07 | i would do 4 cubes and 30sq of slot port but ur doing aeros but ya 32hz would be nice still get alot of low end but not lose the top end. i did a 9012 back be4 they dropped them and then brought them back. but i ended up with a box tuned to 28hz and it was nice kinda sucked for upper bass but the low end was amazing. i believe that jassa has said be4 that the 9515s were never built to be spl drivers. |
