I suggest that you use the speaker outputs to the REL rather than going through any other crossovers. Proper set up ( location, phase, volume, crossover setting) ) is crucial and differs from other subwoofers. I would suggest you set the crossover point at 55 Herts to start with. Don't be afraid to place the sub in a corner, facing across the room. My son uses a T5 with very good results

I totally agree. It is absolutely important to to set volume precisely. Most audiophiles set volume too high, presumably because they want to hear strong, powerful bass all the time. A properly adjusted sub do not call attention to itself all the time; only when the music demands it.
