How to buy a car subwoofer (Saba DD)

Not sure which subwoofer to buy for your car? Let's take a look at the features of different series of Digital Designs (DD) subs. The main thing in their design is the moving part, the quality and features of which determine the characteristics of the speaker and sound. Therefore, more about it ...

What do Digital Designs car subwoofers consist of?

Voice coil.

Available with aluminum and copper winding. The latter makes the moving part slightly heavier, but the bass is clear, dynamic, without delays. Aluminum winding is installed in the latest models and, in comparison with copper winding, allows you to achieve impressive sound pressure.

In the final characteristics of the subwoofer, not only the type of winding plays a role, but also the height that affects the course of the diffuser. High pitch reduces accuracy but increases volume, low pitch reduces sound pressure but enhances bass attack.

Centering washer.

In automotive subwoofers, DD is a multi-layer construction of elastic materials that do not interfere with the movement of the cone and provide optimal linearity of travel.

Diffuser.

In the production of this part of the speaker, all manufacturers try to find a compromise between strength, lightness and rigidity. In other words, the lighter and stronger, the stiffer the suspension and the better the sound quality.

Automotive subwoofers Digital Designs, depending on the series, are equipped with diffusers made of different materials:

• Unpressed pulp.

Unlike its pressed counterpart, it has durability, does not create internal stress. Such a diffuser is the most popular due to the "price-quality" ratio, is able to withstand power that is 2-3 times higher than the nominal one, provides deep sound at low frequencies.

• Kevlar.

A very "musical" material, superior to the previous one in terms of lightness and strength. True, not everyone will agree that the minimum mass parameters are good, since such subwoofers sound like midbass. But here it's a matter of taste. In any case, Kevlar cones are great for SQ competition.

• Composite.

Multi-layer construction made of Kevlar, carbon and foam. Heavier, but stronger than those listed. And in appearance, he has no equal at all. DD subs with a composite cone amaze with sharpness and bass attack, no drag or hum.

• Carbon + Kevlar.

Unique strength construction of 4 layers (2 carbon + 2 kevlar). In the loudspeaker manufacturer's race, Digital Designs' carbon fiber cone is the only cone in the world capable of withstanding over 180 dB thermal lab. And only such subs can be seen among the winners of car audio competitions.

• Z91.

Only the DD Z9100 car subwoofers are equipped with this unique cone. It is unparalleled in lightness and is a construction of a Kevlar and cellulose layer. Leading among existing analogs in sound quality.
