Oklahoma City, Okla., May 10, 2022 -- DD AUDIO®, a manufacturer of high-quality mobile audio products for the masses, is proud to introduce the DD REDLINE PSW Subwoofers. These REDLINE PSW subs have the DD power, the DD performance, and the True to the Source® sound that only DD can deliver at an unbeatable value.

They’re built to level up your power handling so you can level up your bass at a steal of a price!

Available in 10,12, and 15 inch sizes with Dual 2 and Dual 4 Ohm voice coil options, the REDLINE PSW’s are easy to use in a wide range of installations.

Rated for 300-600 watts RMS for the 10 and 12 inch sizes and 400-700 watts RMS for the 15 inch; these beastly subs are easily able to handle enough power to deliver those mirror shaking lows you crave.

The featured Power Tuned suspensions are designed to work best in high efficiency ported enclosures.

For optimized power handling the REDLINE PSW Series uses high temp aluminum former voice coils. The 10” and 12” use a large diameter 2.5” coil while the 15” uses a massive 3” coil. To further aid in heat dissipation, the PSWs also employ vented frames for better airflow to the voice coil surface.

Equipped with a 100 oz magnet for the 10 and 12 inch sizes and a 115 oz magnet for the 15 inch, these large and powerful motor structures provide the needed energy and control to aggressively drive these high excursion subwoofers with maximum precision.

Featuring staple DD AUDIO EROM (Extended Range Of Motion) surround technology, the DD REDLINE PSW Series boasts high excursion play and maximized cone surface area. Adding to the high excursion capabilities, extended pole pieces and bumped back plates allow voice coils to safely travel from peak to peak when the subwoofer is pushed to its excursion limits.

Oklahoma City, OK, June 1st, 2022 -- DD AUDIO®, a manufacturer of high-quality mobile audio products for the masses, is proud to introduce the all new HD8SBK, Harley Saddlebag Enclosure Mounting Kit. Every square inch of space matters when you ride. Whether you’re going to the corner-store for a six-pack or going into the desert for the weekend, you need room in your saddlebags to keep the adventure safe and fun. Should you have to sacrifice this space for good audio or worse, sacrifice good audio for the space? DD AUDIO doesn’t think so, and that’s why they’ve built a better, smarter bag/speaker mounting system. With the USA Made HD8SBK you can split your bag in two: one half for space and one half for bass.

Unlike other kits on the market, the HD8SBK completely encloses the speaker while taking up minimal bag space. Riders can store bulky items and sensibly packed loose items in the front of the same bag as their fully enclosed 8” speaker without serious concern for the items or the speaker. The HD8SBK also features a built-in utility tray with bungee straps, so riders can easily secure and quickly access small items stored in the bags. To protect the speaker’s outward facing soft-parts from rocks and debris, DD AUDIO has included a striking black powder coated aluminum 8” DD grill.

The HD8SBK has been tested relentlessly and underwent a thorough prototyping phase to ensure the best possible performance and bass response. It was also built with versatility in mind, giving you a nice range of options for your two 8” woofers (one in each bag). Riders looking to experience superior motorcycle audio can choose from DD AUDIO’s VO-W8, VO-XN8, VO-MN8, VO-M8 and RL-SW08, all of which are water resistant, reliable and offer their own unique sound.

The clean design was tailor made for stock saddlebags on Harley-Davidson Street Glides, Road Glides, Ultra Glides, Electra Glides and Road Kings from 1998 to today. With professional installation, this USA Made kit will fit like a glove and look as if it came included fresh off Harley’s US factory line. From the quality build to smart design features, there truly is no comparison to other mounting brackets on the market which can cost more and offer far less.

Monday, August 28, 2023 - Oklahoma City, Okla. - DD AUDIO®, a manufacturer of high-quality mobile audio products is proud to introduce the “g” revision of their USA Made, 8 Inch, Daily Driver, the 2508. DD AUDIO’s 2508 is one of the most popular and studied subwoofers of its kind. It’s a favorite among enclosure builders and installers for its performance and versatility. It’s enjoyed daily by drivers who love their music and have a tendency to get over enthusiastic with the bass knob. It’s also a testament to DD AUDIO’s quest for performance, devotion to USA Made build quality, and commitment to the ever evolving audio engineering process that comes with the modernization of materials and tooling. The latest evolution of its beloved “Super 8,” the 2508g, delivers major upgrades to the motor, spider, surround, and more, giving this old GOAT an all new kick.

The latest revision of the 2508 features major performance enhancements, such as an increased magnet diameter for greater power and control, new dual stage aluminum heat sinks for improved heat management, a reimagined competition grade iron cloth spider with more stability and better durability, a second generation V-ROM surround with triple density expansion joint to further smooth the effects of expansion/contraction, an X-5 carbon loaded synthetic fiber non-pressed pulp cone with a peerless strength to weight ratio, plus DD AUDIO’s proven Evolution Subwoofer Package, Free Flow Cooling System. All the specs and features are now available at ddaudio.com.

When DD AUDIO released its “f” revision of the 608 just last week, the response was extraordinary! While the DD AUDIO sales team was inundated with orders for the 600 Series 8 inch, many commentators online were begging to know when DD would release a new version of its more powerful, USA Made 2500 Series 8 inch counterpart. They didn’t have to wait long. The new 2508g is being handmade right now in Oklahoma City for Authorized Dealers and standard builds will soon be available online.

Many call the 2508 the greatest 8 inch, daily driver subwoofer of all time. DD AUDIO’s new 2508 “g” is here to prove exactly that.

Oklahoma City, Okla., March 11th, 2021 — DD AUDIO®, manufacturer of high quality audio gear for the masses, is proud to introduce the newest addition to their line of Voice Optimized speakers: the VO-XN Coaxials. The VO-XNs are neodymium driven coaxials designed for efficiency and high output with minimal weight and compact mounting dimensions. Compared to standard coaxials these speakers will deliver a higher level of midrange and upper frequency output to help overcome environmental noise or to keep up with a powerful sub stage. The VO-XN are perfect for applications such as motorcycles, boats or bass demo vehicles.

For added durability when the installation exposes the speakers to natural elements such as dust and moisture the VO-XNs have polymer treated cones, and are equipped with a rubber voice coil gap cover that keeps water from entering the speaker’s motor assembly around the tweeter post.

These speakers also contain a couple of unique features that increase their install flexibility. Mounting depth is kept to a minimum and output to a maximum by using a top mounted 1-inch compression tweeter vs a bottom mounted tweeter with a horn, and the red anodized secondary heatsink can be removed from the neodymium motor to allow for easier mounting in tight locations.

While the VO-XN was designed for loud, DD Audio didn’t forget about the clear. The polymer infused pulp cone delivers much better tonality than a plastic cone and a Kapton voice coil former and shorting ring equipped motor reduces distortion causing inductance. They will be available in 6.5”, 8”, and 6x9” models.

To learn more about these and all of DD Audio’s Voice Optimized speakers, visit ddaudio.com/speakers.

Oklahoma City, OK, August 12th, 2021 -- DD AUDIO®, a manufacturer of high-quality mobile audio products for the masses, is proud to announce their role as an official audio sponsor for Oklahoma City University esports. OCU was quick to recognize the growing interest in and value of esports as a competitive collegiate program and DD Audio is proud to provide audio for the new OCU esports Starcade Gaming Arena.
 
The sponsorship began with a chance encounter between Michael Combs (Director of Product Development) and Jeff Price (Director of the OCU esports program) shortly before the 2019 River Rumble esports event that Price was organizing. Price mentioned that OCU had big plans for esports in the region and the two quickly began a discussion about how OCU esports and DD Audio could work together.
 
A year later Price reached out to Combs with an invitation to tour OCU esports' new Starcade Gaming Arena. The site was still under construction, but would be completed in just a few months. It was a great opportunity and the perfect timing for DD Audio to design and build the audio system for the Starcade.
The DD design team then started work on a proposal to bring True to the Source® sound to OCU. After exploring multiple design concepts, one in particular stood out; speaker enclosures designed to look like old school arcade cabinets accompanied by a large double 15” subwoofer enclosure. OCU enthusiastically agreed.
 
According to Michael Combs, “The system was designed and built completely in-house. We started by modeling everything in 3D so it could be easily reproduced. Then we cut and engraved the enclosures, acrylic and PVC panels on CNC’s and lasers in our very own fab shop. Of course, we also hand built the custom crossovers and our 15" Made in the USA subwoofers. It took about 2 1/2 months, from start to finish, to work the time into our already packed schedules. We had a lot of fun designing and building the system. We think the retro design is a great tribute to the history of gaming.“
The front arcade style cabinets are built around high efficiency PA style speakers that are well suited to gaming audio which typically contains a lot of spoken dialogue and sound effects. The front cabinets are designed for roughly 350 watts of power each, and the large double 15” cabinet is designed to handle around 1100 watts of power for big explosive bass.
 
OCU esports head coach, Patrick McClung, added “DD AUDIO's level of craftsmanship and dedication to creating the best product is amazing and fits perfectly in line with our direction for esports at OCU. They have been an amazing partner on this project. The sound system at the OCU esports arena is amazing and DD AUDIO is the only company that could bring that level of sound and quality that gives us that edge that we need. Plus, the bass sounds and feels amazing!”

Tuesday, August 22, 2023 - Oklahoma City, OK - DD AUDIO®, a manufacturer of high-quality mobile audio products is proud to introduce their newest and smallest addition to the SL600 Series: the Slim Line 8 inch, SL608 subwoofer. With their super shallow mounting depth and performance tuned suspensions, the SL600s squeeze a lot of bass out of a tight little space and this 8 inch subwoofer doesn’t compromise on quality or performance, as it features the same state of the art design that made its larger companions, the SL610 and SL612, a massive success with installers facing limited space applications. All the SL600s feature EROM surround, double layer spider system, backplate venting and a high temperature resistant voice coil, but the addition of the SL608 takes the versatility of the line to new heights, by further reducing the depth.

DD AUDIO’s SL600 Series has been precision engineered to provide premium, big subwoofer sound, to applications lacking the space needed for big subwoofers. Included in the SL608 cutting edge design is a triple layer composite sandwich cone coupled to a Santoprene rubber surround, to give low distortion output. The 8 inch DD frame houses a 134mm outer diameter / 25 mm thick magnet motor, surrounding a 2 inch voice coil with a 12mm Xmax. When combined with a deep bump backplate, this little monster pushes an impressive 38mm of excursion at 100 to 300 Watts RMS (600 Watts Peak).

All this with a mounting depth of just 3.5 inches, ensuring installers can get seriously creative when tucking away these slim, heavy hitters.

Oklahoma City, Okla., February 11, 2019 — It’s 2019! While there are no flying cars or off-world vacation destinations, DD Audio is already seeing an unimaginably strong future for its partners and itself. Domestically, DD Audio is exclusively a brick and mortar brand that doesn’t force its dealers to compete with online marketplaces for sales of its products. Internationally DD Audio only partners with select distributors they feel provide the highest level of technical and sales support to their customers. This business approach has fostered a loyalty and passion that can’t be won with cheap sales gimmicks and two-bit slogans.

Each year more and more shops see the relationship DD Audio has with their dealers; they recognize the mutual respect, appreciation, and trust shared by the two institutions, and want in. 2018 was no exception. With the support of their worldwide dealer network DD Audio was able to realize significant growth in every product category.

As with previous years, DD Audio will be presenting custom commemorative plaques to their Top 10 Domestic Dealers and Top 10 International Distributors of 2018. This year’s plaques were designed and made 100 percent in-house by hand…and some machines…and lasers.
