15,000 Watts RMS ????
Let me get this straight, they use the same Voice Coil as a 9500 series subwoofer and the 99Z is 15,000 Watts RMS ? How do you figure this ? Because it has a Neodymium Magnet Motor ? Because it has better cooling ? Because you don't know any better ??
The Digital Designs 9500 G with a Composite cone can handle more overall power than the DD99Z subwoofer. The DD99Z subwoofer has a higher BL product and does better numbers with the same relative power. 15,000 to 20,000 watts is where the subwoofer is maxed out at in the right enclosure with a frequency of around 58 to 60 hertz and up. Now, with around 10,000 to 15,000 watts of power in the right enclosure, the DD99Z will take the power a lot better than the 9500G because it has better cooling and dissipates heat better where as the 9500 holds a lot more heat in the magnetic gap. BUT, the 9500 can take more power overall on a burp then the 99Z. If you don't believe me, buy both of them and do the testing.
