DP 21 Comparison/Info

[explosivesound 1]

I had never heare of IA until I came across these forums. I am very interested in the DP or Warden 21 but I have a few questions. The best sub that I can buy locally is an Orion HCCA 15.2. It looks pretty bad ass but obvioussly has no where near the cone area of the 21". The last system I had was a DD9515 with a Earthquake D3. Will the DP 21" be enough to easily eclipse the DD9515 and/or the Orion? Or do I need to go up to the Warden? Current amp is a Crunch Groundpounder 3000 pro. Although it isnt my focus the orion has 4" exursion. What is the Excursion on the DP 21? I have 9 Cubes available for the box. Purpose is a rediculous daily driver/demo. Also are there options on the 21's. For example the Orion has dual progressive spiders and Ive seen BTL's with 5 spiders and Ascendant Audio Mayhems with 4. Also is the Alluminum voice coil better than the copper 4" voice coil in the HCCA? Im just trying to get info because I want something unique but also able to take a beating. Does the DP or Warden have the option of a 4" Voice Coil? The last question I have is about weight. Does how much the sub weight make any difference? The DD9518G is like 72lbs. and the Orion 15 is like 50 and to my knowledge the DP 21 is about 50. Does the Orion and DD have stronger parts since it weighs more (the orion is about the same but its only a 15.) Or are the magnets just that much heavier on the others? I just want to be confident when I pay for the DP or Warden that with options it will outperform the Orion and DD with not just its larger size but also in its parts. I appreciate anybodys help and input.

The weight means nothing. If you have the coin try out the Warden its the newest and meanest thing IA makes. They also have a daily version of the sub so its not just strictly for SPL comps

I agree the weight doesn't always tell the tale and buy the way the shipping weight on a DP21 is 68lbs , and since you asked about the comparision between the DD , The 9500 series have a very hard sound , and in most peoples opinion aren't very freindly to any thing other than test tones , the DP's aren't that way they will tune very low and get real mean doing it , if you are looking for a daily ground pounder / demo look no further , since we built the demo for the DP 21 it is by far the biggest crowd pleaser, we have to wipe the drool off it everyday, most people reactions are ( that is @#^*ing huge, and HOLY @#$^ that's loud ).

And yes you can get options , but as IA says they already come fully loaded
