REL Subwoofer. Your input requested

I know from years of pro sound and home hifi abuses that a long run of unbalanced or RCA (low level inputs on RELs) cables results in funky signal loss and possible gum disease. I do wonder what if any effect there is on the signal from the use of long runs of the speaker output to the "High Level" input utilized by REL. I really have no idea what that might be, but it doesn’t seem to matter much...my longest REL run is maybe 12 feet of my home built Canare Star Quad wires (a very easy build for those considering it, and Speakon plugs are a joy to use), and gets the job done...somehow...

I have 2 RELs of the same older vintage (a Q150e 10" and a Q108MKII 8"), both bought used (200 bucks each), and although maybe 10 years old or something (not sure) they work perfectly. The "high level" input is the one to use as it replicates the tone of your power amp, although at lower frequencies that may not matter much. The very high impedance applied to the amp means they're basically invisible to the amp relative to their drain on the speaker signal. The single Q150e worked really well for a couple of years, and when I bought the Q108II things worked even better as multiple subs playing the same signal help each other to conquer standing waves (depending of your room of course), and generally just make things work more effortlessly. Great little woofers.
