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

    As others have noted already, without enclosure parameters, it is hard to say much.

    However, from what it looks like, the Devine driver is primarily a PA Woofer (W-shaped surround, paper cone, 8 Ohm impedance are all indicators), and won’t work well as a subwoofer, as that’s probably deeper frequencies than it is designed for. Maximum excursion would also probably be very limited as is usually the case with W-shaped surrounds.

    So considering you are looking for “bass” and putting it in a subwoofer enclosure, I’d argue that no matter the enclosure, the Devine BA12 is not suitable for that.
