Tuning Rel G1

I just bought REL G1 Sub-woofer, which I connected with Krell S1500 Power Amp. I am using High Level Input with Synergistic Research Tungsten cable to connect. Speakers used are B&W 802D's. I went through REL manual 4 or 5 times, and followed the directions to set it right.
Problem is I tried crossover frequency from 32HZ to 40HZ, but I cannot have a volume opened more than 6 or 7. I spoke to several people and there recommended volume level is 14 or 15. If I set the volume level on sub-woofer to 14 or 15 my apartment shakes and base is extremely high.

Any advise?

You might have also bought too much sub for your apartment.. I suspect a G2 or even a S5 might have been a better match..

Also if you bought the Rel from a dealer and spent all that $$$ maybe they'd come over to your place and help dial it in..

Also take time and read the Rel setup guide.. then read it again.. There's a lot of really good info on the correct way to setup the sub..

Did you at least get the phase correct? That's the very first thing to get setup correctly.
