Digital Designs’ Monthly Newsletter

Those bass addled crazed nutters at Digital Designs in far off OK City OK USA (SO my kind of peopleand that address is cooler than NY City, NY) have been producing a monthly news letter about their doings. The UK distributors have told me that they hold stocks of literally everything that DD produce. Making them a bit unusual. I gather it is because they are an international hub, selling Digital Designs audio kit to far off lands as well, making ‘The rest of the world’ into a simple one-less-thing-to-worry-about for DD USA, who are a busy lot, with staff specifically to manage their social media. Anyway, enough from me, here’s what DD have had to say these last few weeks and we’ll be keeping you up to date monthly as we hear more.
DD 3500 G Series Further Developed
The 3500g series is built for long term, high power applications. It uses a 3in high temp voice coil driven with powerful motor strength using low moving mass, high rigidity and high energy to give that distinctive DD sound.
The “g” series changes include new cast baskets with more cooling and more excursion, surround improvements and our newest innovation; the DD Composite spider. DD Audio’s years of continued loudspeaker research has led to the introduction of a new suspension system on our Made in America subwoofers; more linear, less hysteresis, better sounding and suffering from less breakdown than traditional cloth spiders. The proprietary DD Audio composite spiders enable our speakers to be pushed to even higher performance standards.
The 3500g Series have low moving mass, use a well controlled suspension and are powered by our own precision machined motor assemblies. We add in high performance features like EROM surrounds, Direct Connect and Free Flow Cooling to make the 3500g Series driver a perfect choice for a wide variety of system designs.
The 3500g Series can be optioned out with composite cones, composite dustcaps, supercharging, shorting rings, low Fs and Xstiff suspension along with a multitude of logo options.
The 3500g Series woofers have been part of award winning SQ systems, brutal ground-pounders, record setting SPL cars and countless enthusiast systems around the world.

Install Of The Month
This month’s install by Acy Newsom’s in a 2004 Scion XD, proves that size really doesn’t matter.
Acy tells us he’s been into car audio as a hobby close to eleven years.

About two years ago he decided to take his hobby to the next level, and make it his full time gig, working as an installer for MST Car Audio, in Prairieville, Louisiana.

He purchased his first set of DD sub-woofers in 2007, and hasn’t owned anything else since!

You would think that in such a small car it would be difficult to get a big sound. We had the chance to hear this set up back in August at the Siknik car show, and we can tell you — it sounds insane!
