Gain level on a REL sub

Hi. I have purchase a REL R 218 sub to compliment my system and as far as sounding musical, I am happy. However, the gain is almost all the way up and I don feel that punch and slam I am looking for. Musically I am impressed with it but I still dont feel that level of impression overall. When I had the HSU STF-2, it was in a different league with in terms of impact and punch but for detail, the REL was better. My question now, Do you think I should try getting a another REL with the same model for a stereo pair or go with a different sub? My room is pretty small but it is treated with acoustic panels.

something not right.

I sold a REL S/510 to a guy and when he connected it to his Amp (an AYRE i think) he could barely hear the Sub. After calling REL they finally advised him to switch the connection to the Amp (he was using high level) as soon as he did that "BOOM" huge bass.

regardless, you should be able to hear Too much bass with the sub turned up.
