Defective REL G1 Subwoofers

I have gone through 3 REL G1 subs. The first 2 have been defective. The third seems to be OK.
The first two subs both made noise when the phase switch was put on 180. This was with the high level Speakon connection and playing music.
Everything was OK back at the 0 phase setting.
Both subs bottomed out frequently on low level LFE connection in both phase settings.

The third sub seems OK in all situations. Maybe a bad run on the first two?? Sumiko claims they have not seen these problems.
Anybody out there with defective REL G1 subs?

I have owned several REL subs... Strata II, Storm III, Q108.... all great subs. I currently run a pair of REL STORM III for my music setup. I have not had nay issues. I prefer the downfire setup of the older "ST" series subs and feel that they still sound better thanthe newer subs.

And being "MADE IN CHINA" still matters as there are many manufacturers that still do it right, but you will have to pay....
