what can you get a better deal on?

what one would you be able to pwoer more efficiently?

what one offers the cheapest/best support after you buy the woofer?

That is what I woudl base my decision on.

They're both great subs and you wouldn't be disappointed with either one...but I would go with the APX because you can recone them yourself. The DD's have to be sent in to DD for recone if you blow it.

Actually they sell recone kits for the 9500 series, the 9900 are the ones you have to send back in //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Not anymore.

About a month ago you could start buying dd recone kits.

But you really shouldnt be blowing woofers anyway.

I say apx, I love mine.

It was more than a month ago that DD made the recone kits available. And you can also order the recone parts for the 9900 series as well. They recommend that you send it in, since it is so involved but you can get the parts if you absolutely want to do it yourself.

yea justin thorton reconed his 9917s and they took like 2 hours each to do....

i would think the dds may be a little louder, but for the price difference i would go with the apx

I was thinking of trying the apx's, just to try something new, and from what i hear the CS is alot quicker than DD as well.. And what are the ELE (extinction level event) subs by atomic? Is it there daily street beat sub or all around? Also how much if anyone knows is a 12ELE and a apx12

i beat the hell out of my dd's. they are super durable. made in the usa where the tolerances are much less.

But if i ever did need a recone atomic would be 10x faster from how behind DD is on everything... So with a 40.1 would that be to much for the pair daily?

i doubt you will ever have any problems with it. i would give it like 1600-1800 daily.

i got a pair of memphis 4kw's strapped at .7 been playing them daily no problems but i shouldnt be doing that im more spl //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif i ran my 9510s of one memphis 4kw for like3 months at 1 ohm and when they where still stiff like the day i bought them. me and and someone else played with them in his crx' the ele's the apx and the dd"s i think the DD's where .4-.6 louder tehn the apx and the apx was like .6 louder tehn the ele. in like 4 different sets of boxes he had. also the atomic's the eles fell apart in like 2 days of testing the apx's in like 2 weeks the dd's never fell apart. im not a fan of anyone cause no one hooks me up with shit //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif but i dont deserve it anyways lol. so i try to run what is more convenient and loudest. and to date teh dd is the loudest sub ive tested and way more reliable. i have never ever lost a coil. i have had a dd fall apart and another start rubbing but they still would play //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

its really up to you what you run you will probably save money in the short run with the atomic and if carefull might not ever have to recone it. but from what i know the DD wont blow as eazy and you will probably make up the money lost in the long run from not needing recones.
