Velodyne HGS12-repair or replace?

I’ve got two Velodyne HGS12’s. One recently stopped playing after having it sent out to an official Velodyne repair center after about 5-6 months ago. Warranty is like 90 days on the repair. 

I’m trying to determine if I should send it back out again or sell both and finally move on. 

If I were to move on what subs should I consider? Can I find new subs out there that don’t cost $1000 each but are very good? I like nice clean bass and have usually been a fan of sealed subs as it always felt tighter and cleaner. 

One dealer mentioned REL, but haven’t listened to the yet. I see a lot of great reviews of SVS. I have heard one JL Audio ( can’t remember model) but it ran about $1500 and sounded pretty damn good.

I've had the same HGS-12 sub.  I was very surprised that with careful placement I was able to get excellent performance out of it. You may consider looking around at replacing the plate amp with an aftermarket.  I've not heard the REL's (great rep), but I've played with a few of the SVS and their performance was excellent for the buck.  
Good Luck
