REL owners, how many clicks on your gain and crossover


I just bought a couple rel subs and wondering where others are setting their dial. I know everyone’s room is different but just curious, if you would like to mention room size and where you place it that would be nice too.
 

I’m using monitors that go down to 40 or 42 in a 12x14 room and have subs right behind monitors on the inside for now, only received subs yesterday. So I’m still breaking them in, have no clue how long subs take. 
 

Place I bought subs advised to just run one hot wire(red) to amp yellow is not being used. Is this right am I losing gain or power by loss of yellow wires gain into sub. I’ve never used a sub for 2 channel it use to be taboo. Oh well I’m in now.

I have a 7i and have wondered if I added one if it made sense to connect the red for one of them and the yellow for the other? Anyway, I think it is good advice to follow REL until you need to do something different. 
 

As for placement, I have a small room, and I found it best to pull the sub out even with the face of my speakers which are out from the wall. Otherwise, I would get a bit of boom. 

as others have said, follow the instructions step by step, to the letter (and use the speaker level input/speakon if at all possible)

asking others for settings here is foolishness -- this is completely room and system dependent

I don’t think it’s foolish. Rel videos say 15 clicks -3/+3. That’s way to much for my room. I’m now using both red and yellow wires into amp. I’m running 4 clicks on gain right now as I explore what’s going on. I said I know all rooms are different and just curious. Your statement “foolishness” is why I stay away from these forums most of the time being a member here for over 15 years.

In the manual they start with the crossover and gain at their lowest settings.

I have mine placed next to and slightly behind the front of the speaker. Dial in each sub by themselves as in the manual( I just disconnect the speakon terminal from one sub).

Here's the Tx series manual...

 

REL recommends starting at 10:00 position and tuning from there...I generally change one click at a time...
