1500 Series
The 1500 Series woofers are based on the 35/95 series design standards,
bringing bass with power and authority to systems designed with 300-500
Watt RMS/per driver power levels.
The 1500 Series start with a powerful motor design using a 50mm thick
magnet section, thick steel plates with 12mm thick magnet gap. The
motor design is topped off with machined cooling vents from our Free
Flow Cooling System pumping fresh air around the voice coil. The voice
coil uses the same grade wire as our 9500 Series, the same high
temperature capability and the same adhesives.
The surround uses our EROM profile to give long, controlled excursion
while keeping the cone diameter as large as possible. This profile also
saves mass over the sculpted rubber surrounds and inner tube style
surrounds, less mass makes ours louder and faster. We developed new
tri-laminated surround material which is highly elastic and very tough,
perfect for daily rugged use. The cone is our multi-fiber blend
designed for high strength and low weight, again, lighter is louder and
faster.
The suspension in a subwoofer takes a real pounding, so the 1500 Series
uses proven materials from the 35/9500 Series. The most durable spider
materials are used in multi-spider arrangements in order to provide
long but controlled excursion. We laminate our lead wires between
spider layers to eliminate lead slap and broken lead wires. Our
laminations cost more to produce, take longer to make, and take longer
to assemble. They are built with USA made materials and tinsel lead,
they are formed in the USA, cut, trimmed and laminated into spider
assemblies in-house. Making longer lasting speakers doesn't happen by
accident, it's a methodical and purposeful endeavor.
All our subs are hand assembled, rigorously tested and retested. We use
multiple glue types and multiple glue joints for all attachment points.
We use the most electrically efficient connections, direct copper to
copper, the Direct Connect. Cosmetic options include real hand-laid
Carbon Fiber dustcaps, if so desired.
The 1500 Series subs are the real deal; high quality subs at an
affordable price that sound great while being as durable as possible.
We think you should be able to enjoy your system for years to come, and
then move your DDs to the next car you buy.
We recommend to allow at least several weeks of playing
time to break
in DD Woofers, full break in may take many months. DO NOT play
subwoofers at max amplifier power in the first couple of days, give the
suspensions a chance to loosen up. As the suspension breaks in, the
subs will play lower and louder.
After you give the woofers a chance to break in (you'll know when this
happens because the woofers will be playing lower and louder) you can
start to look at port changes to alter the sound to your personal taste
and your vehicles acoustic loading conditions.
