Can I trash this damn transformer? PLEASE

I have a REL subwoofer which integrates perfectly with my two channel system. I only problem is that my REL "Quake"
subwoofer is British and comes with a ugly black transformer to convert the power to 110. What would be involved with re-wiring the sub so I wouldn't need the unsightly transformer?
Thanks in advance

Markeetaux,

Assuming it is British 220 - 240 volt you can power it from that service in your home. 60 HZ (USA) is easier on amps that 50 HZ so that part should be good.

I would check specs or call REL first, but I did this in my own home, it's the same wire pull as your dryer and then no transformer, no box, no nothing except a power cable.

does it run cool enough that you could just put a bag over it?
