REL Sub Woofer Tweaks


Being the proud owner of two REL Storm III Sub's I have noted the following from previous posts. One recommendation was to get rid of the supplied REL Spikes. I was fortunate to have the practical ability to drill, tap the matching thread per millimeter size, and to insert threaded studs into some Mod Squad Tip Toe's. The Tip Toe's were the perfect size, and I also used adequately sized fender washers as shims between the Tip Toe's and the REL feet for levelling purposes.

The biggest surprise was when I changed the factory supplied REL Power Cord to a Dedicated Audio " Pds " type.

I do not know how or why for the Power Cord but the difference was significant.

I advise all REL Sub owners to try the above changes, and I think you will be very surprised.

Homosapien, There a very few companies that make a Neutrik speakon replacement cable for REL subwoofers. Robert Stein of "The Cable Company" at [email protected] custom ordered mine from XLO. Nice improvement. My Harmonic Technology power cord worked very well also, and is a very reasonably priced power cord considering its quality.
I changed the supplied Neutrik speakon connector with a custom Neutrik connector from XLO. Results: Bigger and tighter bass. I use a Harmonic Technology power cord as well, (good bang for the buck). DJohn, am I correct in that, you added the Tip Toes under the existing REL feet?
