REL T7x or T5x for Small Room
+1@ghdprentice  My room is 12" x 18" x 9.5" and I use 4 subs. Two Rel T5's, one Rel T7 and an SVS SB2000.  There is no such thing as overkill unless you crank up the subs too much. Just like you really can't have too many watts.

Buyer Dispute
 “These speakers were purchased from my local dealer new in May 2020.  They are in perfect condition and are an amazing pair of speakers.  I decided to upgrade them to the store's demo pair of 802's.  The store personnel delivered and set them up ... 
What music would you like at your funeral?
  Green Day "Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)"  Or, if life somehow becomes terrible, perhaps something by Yoko Ono.
