REL SUB-BASS SYSTEMS are not designed for use in applications where the main speakers are externally crossed-over to eliminate lower frequencies from the mains, to substitute for poor bass performance of main speakers, nor to induce terrified responses to explosions while viewing the latest mindless action movie. In those applications, mzkmxcv is correct that REGULAR SUBWOOFERS provide better results than REL.
REL SUB-BASS SYSTEMS are designed to provide room pressurization of frequencies around and below 20hz and to slightly augment bass performance of full-range loudspeakers in that region. The net effect of a properly implemented REL is audibly improved soundstage and a solid bass foundation for music with near perfect integration with most full-range loudspeakers when used with the hi-level connections from the amplifier’s speaker outputs. If that is the intended application, nothing else compares to the RELs IME.
