i need a sub

Died? Blown?

Where was the gain at on the amp?

Hmm ok so it must be scratching something, the coil is. Sounds blown alright.

Another thing is the gain was set a little too high. When you say a little more than 1/2, do you mean the 1 o'clock position? Or in between 12 and 1?

Nah the CAB is a great amp. Have yet to see/read anything bad about them. I'm leaning towards you clipped the DD.

So, new sub shopping. Do you have a budget in mind? I would recommend Sundown Audio.

Some people like Skar subs, others don't simply because of a shady business within itself. Which explains not a whole lot of people wanna support a company that does that.

my dd 1512 died on me todayit was being pushed with a cab1600 @1ohm

idk what over did it

but i need an idea for a new sub

buying from hawaii rules out amazon

and any other website is an arm and a leg

i was looking at

https://www.skaraudio.com/collections/zvx-series/products/zvx-12v2?variant=17690909249

or

https://www.skaraudio.com/collections/evl-series/products/evl-12?variant=28434144333

the shipping is only 99 compared to worse iv seen.

are these compareable to the dd 1512? would it blow as easy or get just as loud or louder?

I am starting to look at a sub for my car (again) and I ran across an interesting company. FI Car Audio. (ficaraduio.com). Man, these look awesome, but I am not that well versed on subs. I've got more research to do on these guys, but I thought you should at least check them out.

There is no way possible you can know this without measuring it yourself. The gain will differ in each installation, for example, the gain on my amps don't even need to be 1/4 of the way up to reach clipping.
My guess would be overpowered and not clipped seeing as how it has a 1600 watt amp on a 600 watt sub.

I would suggest contacting SSA and see if they ship free to Hawaii for orders over $100.

thanks for the help guys!that massive audio looks good but i have never heard of the brand before.

heard of orion leaning toward the xtr orion.
