Now, don't get me wrong... My Tempest based sonosub is not a slouch. It easily will outdo anything I've ever seen in any store.
You should simplify the issue and just sell Jodean your unused Tempest sub! Win-Win!

In all seriousness, I mostly agree with Joe L. and if I were making a sub I'd probably use the Tempest-X over the DVC. There are some considerations where that statement isn't true however. One is if cost is very tight. I've made $150 sonosubs and in cases like that $60 represents a large part of the total budget. Another would be if the DVC happened to model better in a particular configuration (haven't modeled both so this is a "what if"). I've heard the Dayton DVC work very well in TL enclosures - no idea about the Tempest-X. The third is if there was some sale that dropped the price of one way below the other (see reason #1).
