I was about to get a DD sub, but....

I was about to get a DD 12" sub today. But I think that the price was a little high. What is a good price for a brand new DD 9500 series 12" dual 2 ohm? The dealer said $540 plus tax. Wow, is it even worth that much? I'm just going to be bumping one on a Memphis 1000D. Please help me before I make a big buy like this.

warranties come with a price tag, and DD's are naturally pretty expensive subs, arguably worth their price though.

Look at http://www.audioque.com

HD12 is what you are looking for...VERY VERY Similar to the DD 9500 series...VERY Close.

DD subs are expensive.....and overkill for daily drivers that don't compete.

Why not get a DD 35 series it is considerbly cheaper and would be perfect for that amp...

I was about to get the M3 Mojos, but I thought that the DD would be better overall for SQ and hard hitting. I will only be getting one sub, so I need to get the nicest for the amp I have. I will put it in a ported box, in a 300zx.

If you are going to get DD, the only route I consider is buying a motor and getting a Recone from DD. Their direct prices are steep.

I own DD, have used M3's and actually I think you get a better "cost" deal with the M3's....you can buy recones all day for the M3's that take only minutes to recone....vs. the DEE DEEZ that are a a bit more of a lengthy process to recone. And dont be mistaken, the M3's do sound good and get fawkn loud if in the proper box with some power behind it.

oh and on a side note, I got an official email today from DD saying the 9900 series is no longer available ... :GASP: //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

so the 9500's with the upgrade kit will be the highest sub DD makes thats anywhere near being reasonable to afford.

how much does DD charge for their recones, just like a ballpark price
