Cheap DD Clones

Bronze Member Username: MrogowskiPost Number: 79 Registered: May-07 | Forgive me if this has already been mentioned, but I thought I would share this here. There's a massive thread going on over at ca.com about some drivers that seem to be a near direct rip of the Digital Designs driver(s). While they don't fully stack up to the DD directly, they come pretty close according to some. And, at ~1/3 the cost, may be well worth it. Here's the link: http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=263103 Best regards, Mark |

Bronze Member Username: MrogowskiPost Number: 80 Registered: May-07 | Yeah, that's me. I find this whole thing really interesting. From a tight-@ss point of view I think its worth looking into. Seems that they could be capable of some pretty good output. Park will be testing a pair so we'll see what he says about them.. |

Bronze Member Username: MrogowskiPost Number: 82 Registered: May-07 | Know what? Sit back and wait for someone to do a review on it. It will either be a turd or a runway hit. |

Bronze Member Username: MrogowskiPost Number: 83 Registered: May-07 | Dunno about the amps, but Park ordered up a pair of subs. He's got the power and tools to test them so it should be interesting to see what they can do. Could very well be the next bonerr.. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 3334 Registered: Jul-06 | Holy crap that CA .com thread is huge, I'm definetly not reading that. What a joke though. It looks like they copied a DD sub and built it shitty. Build quality is the reason people buy DD, haha. |
|
Bronze Member Username: MrogowskiPost Number: 84 Registered: May-07 | Wouldn't call it a joke. It has a lot of what DD incorporates into their designs. From what I've read, the build quality is quite good. There are a couple of shortcomings, but certainly not worth a $300+ price increase for the original. |

Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 12962 Registered: Jul-05 | wonder how efficient they are??? |
|
Gold Member Username: Naledge503Http://com4.runboard.c... Post Number: 2022 Registered: Jun-06 | The Fs on them is high so they wouldnt be a low end monster. |
|
Gold Member Username: JohnfiacA-ToWn, 9515 thumpin... What u bumpin? Post Number: 3632 Registered: Mar-06 | ^low end FTW! I hope the 9518 gets a little lower then the 9515 :-\ otherwise 4 sealed 12's all the way! With this sub being stiffer and less efficent... it should still get pretty low at high power? |

Silver Member Username: VisitorMiddleofnowhere, Minnesota USA Post Number: 108 Registered: Jul-07 | "do you know where i can buy that new 95 series basket at? those are se.xy." i believe dd sells em. "Know what? Sit back and wait for someone to do a review on it. It will either be a turd or a runway hit." indeed. and if they die.. i will see if a dd recone will fit in it.. as "almost" claimed. "Dunno about the amps, but Park ordered up a pair of subs. He's got the power and tools to test them so it should be interesting to see what they can do. Could very well be the next bonerr.." amps are zenon built. i have 4 of them. good for around 10kw (total). i also have a termlab, a wooertester, adn all that crap "What a joke though. It looks like they copied a DD sub and built it shitty. Build quality is the reason people buy DD, haha." argue all you like, but dd's buildquality is mediocre at best (and yes, they are loud). "wonder how efficient they are???" Sensitivity = 88 dB 1w / 1M. with this high of an fs, this is an spl woofer, guys (like dd's) sensativity is nice, but not super neccisary in the world of spl (most draggers i know personally would rather have high abuse tolerance, than super high efficiency ) "That company advertises in 12Volt. They have ALOT of knock-off equipment." yes. they do. and most of it is crap. i do NOT have high expectations for these. if they are a little better than a type r, they will be worth it |
