Oklahoma City, OK, May 5, 2016 -- DD Audio is celebrating 30 years of bass "domination" by taking dealers on a journey through the world-renowned 9500 Series evolution.

From the beginning, DD has continually worked to improve our designs to keep up with the newest technology and the ever changing styles of music flowing through our veins. This comprehensive list documents each model’s highlights, changes, and improvements.

With each new model DD Audio was able to push new limits, and thus, continually increase the performance and durability of the product.The company has learned over the years, and each lesson has helped pave the way to its newly released 9500 ESP subwoofers.

Oklahoma City, Okla., November 28th, 2018 -- It is with great excitement that DD Audio announces the highly anticipated upcoming release of the 18-inch ESP, the newest and largest addition to the Evolution Subwoofer Package upgrades.

Evolution is about moving forward. It’s about adapting to and then surviving an environment of conflict and stress. Evolution is not so much a goal as it is a process; one which generally occurs on imperceptible levels, over countless generations, without the guidance of unnatural forces. There are exceptions, however, in which scientists preempt natural influences and break natural order to force evolution where needed. Concerning the future of True to the Source (TM) sound, DD Audio’s top engineers have been pushing such an evolution on their already superb designs for sometime in the form of their Evolution Subwoofer Package.

For the handmade Power-Tuned, HiDef and all Z subs , the ESP is an upgrade in performance and resilience like none other. Since it’s entry in 2014, ESP has been a game-changer thanks to features like:

• Carbon Fiber Blend Cone (CFB) – The CFB composition employs a potent carbon fiber based cocktail to give you the highest strength to weight ratio of any pulp cone in the industry.
• Vario-density Extended Range Of Motion Surround (V-ROM) – Provides the ultimate in linear control at high excursion while still allowing for dynamic sounding bass reproduction. The control ribs are compressed to a lesser density than the main surround body to allow for a continuously variable control system. The harder you drive it the more control you get.
• Tuned Spider System (TSS) – Each suspension is tuned for specific performance traits, e.g. High Definition, Power Handling, X-Stiff Control.
• Super Frame (SFrame) – Maximizes spider diameter, cone diameter, suspension excursion, works as a secondary shorting ring and provides additional heat sinking for better heat flow from the coil. Previously, this performance enhancing package was made available on the 8”, 10”, 12” and 15” frame sizes of DD Audio’s immensely popular 2500, 3500, 9500, 9900 Power Tuned subs and 2008, 3010, 3012 and 3015 HiDef Tuned subs, and of course, the Mini-Z , Z3 and Z4 subs. The new 18” ESP will bring the Evolution Subwoofer Package to the upper size range of DD Audio’s custom built subwoofers. With expected availability in early 2019, this upgrade will apply to the 3518, 9518, 9918, Z318 and Z418 subs.

ESP is the logical next step for performance subwoofers and as it grows in popularity DD’s already proven sub lines will continue adapt and develop. Not some weird, mutant, prototype or monstrous result of bored scientists gone mad with power, the ESP was purposefully designed and built to evolve exceptional subwoofers and improve listening experiences for those looking to Upgrade their Sound (TM).

Oklahoma City, Okla. -- February 4th, 2020 -- DD Audio, a manufacturer of high-quality mobile audio products for the masses, is excited to announce the expansion of their domestic sales and support teams.

Oklahoma City, Okla., April 1, 2022 -- DD AUDIO®, a manufacturer of high-quality mobile audio products for the masses, is proud to announce a bold departure from the traditional manufacturing and development of audio products, and the warm embrace of a new world, in which all DD products are one-of-a-kind, digital assets. Effective immediately, DD AUDIO products will be sold (or auctioned) strictly as NFTs.

“We’ve always believed in making our products personal. For example, our Made in the USA Subwoofers were always customizable, and we made them to fit each customer’s preference on colors, logos, tuning and more” says product development specialist William Gibson, adding “but the biggest problems we would run into with subwoofers, as well as amplifiers, speakers and the rest, was purely physical. Supply chain issues, labor shortages, tariffs, freight surcharges. We’re great at building amazing, personalized audio equipment that everyone loves, and we saw a way to provide exactly that without the bulk. It was so obvious, Non-Fungible Tokens.”

The venture began when the R&D team stumbled across a 10 minute tutorial video on Youtube showing how anyone can become a multi-millionaire just by minting NFTs.

DD’s new head of digital asset management, 18 year old Bobby Zimuruski had this to say: “We had some speed bumps in the beginning. Old Man Doyle (43 year old Kevin Doyle) lost 500 bucks when his hot wallet got hacked in a phishing scam. But we found our footing and pretty soon we were hard hashing, no cap bro”.

The new product line for DD AUDIO’s third quarter should be entirely made up of Non-Fungible Token. Digital paintings of speakers, 3d renderings of subwoofers, photos of amplifiers, and more are already available for auction here at ddaudio.com/nft. DD soon hopes to mint their years of expertise and their reputation for excellence, by vectorizing the very DNA of their most revered product designers.

Currently, DD AUDIO is winding down the manufacturing wing of their business and has begun selling their physical products with the classification / disclaimer “soon-to-be antiques.”

“We know everyone wants the NFTs, but some of these physical mobile audio products can easily be considered Collectors Items, like old Macintosh computers or VHS tapes of Jerry Maguire.”

Oklahoma City, OK, June 17, 2019 -- DD Audio is proud to be the Official Car Audio Sponsor of Illegal Toys Oklahoma Summer Bash 2019 taking place in Oklahoma City, OK, DD Audio’s home city, at the Cox Convention Center, Sunday, June 30th, from 10am to 5pm.

Oklahoma City, OK, May 15, 2017 -- DD Audio hosted dealers, partners and employees for the First Annual DD Invitational on Saturday May 13, 2017. The event gave DD a chance to visit one on one with dealers and vendors, give tours of the new DD headquarters and enjoy some fun in the sun. The festivities also doubled as a DD employee appreciation event.

Dealers were encouraged to bring their sweetest DD-equipped rides to enter some friendly audio and car show competitions. Awards were given to the SPL event champion, best sound quality vehicle, and DD Invitational crowd favorite. The Smokin’ Okies food truck was on site for lunch and Mustang Brewing Company kept the thirst quenched throughout the event. DD Ambassadors, Wayne Varley with The Gold Car and Jabee, were also on site adding to event. 

Overall attendance was a success with dealers and vendors showing up from different areas all across the country. The dealers enjoyed seeing where and how the DD subwoofers are manufactured, and the vendors all enjoyed seeing how they play a role in making things happen around the DD headquarters. Nathaniel Drake of Drake Custom Audio in Ridgeland, SC said, “We’re a fairly new DD Audio dealer, but we’re really glad we were able to attend the event. The entire experience has given us a way better picture of what kind of company DD is, and it’s got us even more excited about the decision to bring the brand into our shop.”

When asked about the event DD’s Sales Manager, Kevin Doyle, said this, “For our first time hosting an event like this it turned out great. I really liked being able to bring vendors, dealers and employees together for a single celebration. The weather was perfect, the food and drinks were awesome. Everyone I spoke to post event said they had a great time, and were ready for next year. The entire staff here at DD Audio appreciates everyone that helps make this brand a success, and we’re excited to make this a tradition and host another invitational next year.”

Oklahoma City, Okla., October 12, 2018 -- DD Audio’s continuing growth was on vibrant display at the 2018 dB Drag Racing Association European Championship Finals in Montichiary, Italy and with so many competitors using DD Audio products, Company Owner Jassa Langford and International Sales Manager Charn Langford saw an opportunity that couldn’t be denied.

As Charn Langford put it, the decision for DD Audio was two-fold: “First, there’s the education aspect. Every competition is different. That’s true at home, and it’s especially true on other continents. We think it’s important to see the vehicles, see how our equipment is going into the builds and how everything fairs when being pushed to the extreme. Watching these contenders exceed the limitations teaches us a lot and helps us improve of our products across the board. And second, of course, we want to be there to show our support. We keep an eye on the leaderboards. We recognize that more and more competitors are choosing DD Audio for their builds, and we’re happy to see so many of them at the top. So we wanted to show our full support in person. I was really thrilled when I found myself helping the crews with recones. It was a great way to help out and get to know everyone.”

DD Audio had three officially affiliated teams in the Euro Finals. Congratulations to Elvis Häggblom and Lorens Wastesson of LW Audio ! Elvis came in second place at the dB Drag Racing Super Street No Wall. Lorens (who sacrificed two windshields to the Bass Gods) came in third place at the dB Drag Racing Super Street X and fifth place in the Bass Race 105.0 to 159.9. And a very special congratulations to dB Devils Makku Skantz and Jussi Takala! With their Fiat Panda, boasting two Z3 - 18” subs, the dB Devils not only came in FIRST PLACE for the dB Drag Super Street 1-2, they set a NEW WORLD RECORD! In addition to the affiliated teams, Charn and Jassa got to meet many more competitors whose builds prominently featured DD Audio. Italian Team Progettare HiFi’s Fabio Brembilla earned second place in the Extreme No Limit using DD’s 9515’s.

Another friendly DD fan and contender was Ruszkai Milan of Hungary, whose single Z3 - 12” helped him earn third place in the Street Stock 1k. Other DD equipment users who placed in top five of their classes included Team Tr Acoustic, Vlassopoulos of Team Vedouris, Stavros Ventouris and Christoffer Carlmark. Carlmark made an astounding impression as a first time finalist with his single Z3, coming in 4th place in the dB Drag Street Stock 2k and 5th place in the Bass Race 130.0 to 139.9. While this event was a competition, it wasn’t without some glamourous demo builds. At the DD Audio booth Alen Hedzic showed off his stunning Opel Astra with four 9915a ESP Subs and one Z2c. Eddy Shabuku’s potent VW Golf, on display at the SoundDigital booth was rocking eight 9915s along with four VO-W8s and two VO-B1s in each door.

Upon their return, Jassa said, “the builds were really something, but the competitors, builders, fans-- they’re what made it a truly unique experience.”

“And if all that wasn’t enough,” Charn added, “We found ourselves at the oldest Craft Brewery in Italy-- White Dog Brewery --and there we met the owner, who was originally from our home-state of Oklahoma! How cool is that!”

DD Audio would like to thank all the mentioned parties and many more who Jassa and Charn encountered in their journey.
