Two Subs?


My listening room is 22L x 12W x 8H. I'm currently using a single REL Storm III. I'm toying with the idea of getting a second REL; but how can I determine if my room can actually accommodate two RELs without having to buy the second REL?

Got it! Thanks for the explanation. Hookup of current REL is via the speaker terminals. Dealer did the hookup upon delivery of my monoblocks. He says I'm precluded from wiring to my amps because they have a floating ground. So, a second REL will be wired to second speaker. Apparently, not optimum.
This doesn't make sense to me. Whatever problems might result from connecting the sub to the output terminals of the amplifier, as a function of the internal grounding configurations of the sub and the amp, would also occur if the sub is connected to the speaker terminals.

Is/are the amplifier(s) the Essence Jasper mkII monoblocks referred to in your system description? And are they "fully balanced," as far as you know? In particular, do their negative/black output terminals have a signal on them, as opposed to being grounded?
