First, are you using high level inputs? If so easy to connect the R to the Right amp inputs and the Left to the Left amp inputs using high level wiring, which I recommend. As said, this is all on the REL website. Different amps (class D) require different wiring. For my class A/B Audionet amps, I use the Red and Black to the inputs on the amps and float the yellow wire. For the crawl testing of only one sub (maybe this is what you are asking) I don't think it matters much and I would just connect it to one side as this will be the final wiring.

Hi @jastralfu
I did not find this to be true in my basement. With two Rel Carbon Specials just inside my main floor standing speakers, I got significant boom from right behind me (I have a wall around my utility closet right behind my couch). For me, moving the subs well outside my speakers into the corners of the room, asymmetrically pointed, the room nodes smoothed out a lot and the booming decreased. I also added bass corner traps in various corners of the room which also helps. Now people can not even locate my subs, but they add significantly to air pressure and soundstage of my floor standers, running full range. To allow me to have flexibility on placement, I run my subs with REL's wireless system which is fast and seamless. Of course I still go through the adjustments of phase, frequency adjustment and volume. It is set and forget. For demonstration it is easy to click the wireless senders on and off. |
Hello @doni , My REL Carbon Limiteds came with the REL Longbow Wireless Receivers built in. Here is from REL's product description page:
The Longbows work great, and placement becomes imaginative instead of limited. I tried so hard and long to put my subs just inboard of my main speakers, and went through two brands of subs because of the boom. Now they are way outside of my main speakers, actually along the sidewalls. Take a peek at my system photo...those are my amps inboard of my speakers and the subs are out of view. BTW, you can add REL wireless to most of their subs, they have a few systems, model dependent. |
