| REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers calvinj,I've owned dual subs several times and never thought much of it. At one point I had dual JL Audio F110s with the JL Audio CR-1 external crossover and preferred a single JL Audio F112 v2 without the CR-1. I added a second REL last night. Le... | |
| REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers daveyf,"What made you pick the Carbon Limited?" I was originally looking at a single No. 25 or dual S5s. After a long conversation with the dealer about my main speakers, the fact that I had a single JL Audio F112 v2, and I listened to music the m... | |
| REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers calvinj,My thoughts comparing the JL Audio F112 v2 to the REL Carbon Limited in my system/room. This has nothing to do with sound, but the JL Audio F112 v2 is built like a tank and is packaged significantly better than the REL. My initial thought... | |
| Audioquest Firebird Zero jafant,Thanks. I view cables as the icing on the cake. Finding the right cables is a very tedious process. There are just too many cable options and it can be overwhelming. | |
| Audioquest Firebird Zero kingdombuildingcon,I've said over and over there are no absolutes in audio, only preferences. In addition, I consistently say, that cables are system dependent and if possible always listen to a cable in your system prior to purchase. Stay with th... | |
| REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers I would also like to say thanks to astewart8944. He was the first person to suggest connecting both wires to the same positive terminal and floating the black wire. | |
| Audioquest Firebird Zero This is a rhetorical question, but how much is the AQ Thunderbird zero compared to the Clarus Aqua? | |
| REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers Al,If leaving the black wire floating was an issue, wouldn’t I hear a hum, reduction in output, or some sonic indicators that something is wrong? I don’t understand the issue with how I have it connected? This is directly from REL's Chief Engineer... | |
| REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers daveyf,Are you suggesting that there's no benefit to connecting DUAL REL subs, one to the left channel and the other to the right channel, with the red and yellow wire connected to the positive speaker post on each and the black wire floating? | |
| REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers Al, I initially connected the red wire to the right positive channel and the yellow to the left positive channel, with the black wire floated. Now I have it connected to the right positive channel, but the black is still floated. I was told that i... | |
| REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers daveyf,"If you are not connecting the black wire, I would be concerned that you are not grounding the sub." If it wasn't properly grounded I'm assuming I would hear a hum? I assume REL's Chief Engineer wouldn't tell me to do something that would d... | |
| REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers daveyf,The black wire is floated and not connected to anything. I'll have dual subs and will receive the 2nd sub on Tuesday. That's why I was advised to connect my single sub this way. | |
| REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers calvinj,I'm excited that everything is working like it is suppose to. | |
| REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers chazzzy007,Thanks."Ricred what sub are you upgrading from and what improvements are you hearing with the Carbon limited? I have an S5 SHO." I had a JL Audio F112 v2. The REL Carbon Limited totally disappears compared to the JL Audio F112 v2. I'll ... | |
| REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers Al,"So are you saying, then, that the only difference between what worked and what previously didn’t work was twisting the red and yellow wires together, while having exactly the same connections in both cases?" YES"Or are you saying that the red ... |
