Professional Series Ported Dual 15" Enclosure DD Audio 715f · Dual 15" Ported enclosure

Both drivers share one chamber and one port rather than sitting in separate boxes, so the pair works against the whole volume and the port is sized for the pair rather than doubled. The port carries 61.9 square inches of area at 32.0 Hz, and the design power for the velocity and excursion checks is 3600 W for the pair. Passband ripple holds at 2.51 dB across the tuning, with F3 at 33.9 Hz. Tuning is chosen for in-car response rather than an anechoic curve: a vehicle adds roughly 12 dB per octave below about 45 Hz, and this tuning is where that sum comes out flattest across 25 to 60 Hz.

Every driver is run through the Performance Optimized wedge and down-fire before this chassis; the Professional box is where a driver lands when that smaller envelope, 30 inches wide and 18 inches deep with a triangular side port, cannot give it what it needs at its rated power. The 715f did not clear the port gate there. The calmest wedge port that fits that envelope is 30.1 square inches at 27.5 by 11.25 by 17.98 inches, and its mouth runs 18.3 metres per second at 1500 W against the 17 metres per second line where a port starts to chuff. That port would stay clean to about 1300 W. The slot on this box reaches 61.9 square inches and holds the mouth at 16.4 metres per second at 3600 W. An under-ported box does not fail quietly. Air speed at the mouth rises with power; past the chuff line the flow turns turbulent and the port is audible on every note. The turbulence also chokes the port, so the box behaves as if it were tuned higher than it is, loses output near tuning, and lets the cone travel further below tuning than the design allows. This chassis is a full-size front-firing box on a 2.25 inch baffle built from three 3/4 inch layers with the woofer flush-mounted in the outer layer, a DD Audio logo acrylic, and a port and excursion budget checked at 3600 W. It carries a 2 year warranty against 1.

DD Audio does not publish the mounting hole locations for the 715f, so we cannot install the threaded inserts before it ships. The threaded insert kit comes in the box instead: inserts sized to the woofer, the correct drill bit, 2.5 inch allen-head screws, an allen key and woofer gasket tape. You set the inserts when you mount the woofer, and this box ships with two kits, one per woofer. A dual cabinet ships two kits.

Yes, at 25 Hz, 24 dB per octave. Below tuning a vented box stops loading the cone and excursion runs away toward DC. With the filter in place this cabinet puts the DD Audio 715f at 47 percent of its usable travel at 3600 W.

Not one we can show you. We do not build a sealed enclosure for the DD Audio 715f and DD Audio publish no sealed volume for it, so the Performance Graphs tab carries no ported-versus-sealed chart: the only sealed box left to plot would be this cabinet stuffed and sealed, which nobody would build, and a comparison against it would tell you nothing you could buy. What a vented box gives up is the region below tuning, where the cone unloads and the 25 Hz subsonic filter takes over; around 32.0 Hz the vent carries the load and cone travel drops to its minimum, which no sealed alignment can do.

It is a vertical slot beside the woofer, the full height of the cavity, 3.75 inches wide and 61.9 square inches. It runs 8.50 inches to the back wall and turns once along it for 19.70 inches; the fold costs about 1.5 Hz and the port is cut for it. The channel runs at 22.1 metres per second at 3600 W, 43 percent of its turbulence limit, and the mouth edges carry a 1/2 inch roundover so the air leaves the face at 16.4 metres per second against the 17 metres per second threshold where a slot starts to chuff.

73 lb, 44.00" W x 18.00" H x 16.00" D external. It ships as a UPS parcel; the price includes shipping in the 48 states. Every Professional cabinet is priced the same way, by its size: this one is 7.33 cubic feet outside. Delivery to the 48 states is inside the price; it ships as a 73 lb parcel and checkout adds nothing. Do not add polyfill; it ships dry on purpose.

No. This is an enclosure only, cut for the DD Audio 715f specifically: the 13.875 inch cutout, the 9.375 inch mounting depth allowance and the 3.41 cubic foot alignment all come from DD Audio's published parameters. It fits both coil versions; the alignment published here is the D2 or D4. Bring your own driver.
