Using a REL Storm with a Spectrum Amp?


I have a Spectron Musician 3SE Mk2 amp and I have been using full range speakers. I am demoing a set of monitors and an REL Storm III sub. Does anyone out there see any problem with running the sub by using a Neutrik NL4FC cable from the sub to the terminals on the Spectron...where the the positive and negative leads would be connected to one side of the amp speaker terminals and a single wire connected to the negative terminal on the other side? Just want to make sure all components are protected!

I have a Storm III and have connected it to several amps using the Neutrik cable. This method is much better in my experience than using RCA interconnet to pre-outs.

The correct way to connect it is Red wire to the Right + terminal on your amp, Yellow Wire to the Left +, and Black Wire to either right or left - terminal. If your amp is a fully balanced design then the black wire needs to be connected to a ground point on the amp chassis, not the speaker - (on my Ayre amp I connected it to a chassis screw).

I'm not familiar with your amp, is there something special about it that causes you to thin + and - terminals should be reversed in the wiring scheme?

Mdrummer01 . . I understand. I was a little tentative the first time I connect my Storm up. 3 wires throws you when you expect 4 . . .
