Hi, I've got some 12" subwoofer boxes and I'm looking for a relatively cheap driver for them (under £50) I've found these two that are close to me and cheap. So far I'm leaning towards the vibe, mostly because of the brand name, however will it be bassier than the devine ba12 My amp can do 400w RMS

The vibe 12" 1200w peak driver: The devine ba12

Grs 12SW-4HE is a surprisingly capable subwoofer for $60 on parts express. Check it out and model it in your box to see how it will do.

Thanks for this recommendation, I'm also looking for 12" drivers, and I wondered about this brand. Great prices. I'm using two Atlantic Technology 352 enclosures with external amps.

Some AVS members recommend the Infinity drivers: their reference model is $99 (US). Wonder if these or other budget drivers compare to GRS favorably.

It's a jungle of car audio drivers out there, not easy to find reviews of budget 8ohm drivers for home use!
