Oddball question, hooking up REL Storm III Subwoof

Try signalcable.com, they make a REL cable.

It's a good thing you got no sound when you hooked up the sub the way you did because it would have been at full volume. You need a preamp or some device with a volume control between the DVD player and the sub. I don't know specically how the REL works but you will probably have to use the speaker outs on your amp to get to the sub unless you have a preamp out loop.

you can hook it up with rca's. however, the rel works best with high level inputs off the amp imo..

thanks for those who have responded...Matchstikman, thanks for the Signalcable tip....I like his cables....didn't know he made a REL cable.

I do not think it is possible to run RCA direct from the DVD Subwoofer output (Denon 5900), the REL does have a LOW LEVEL gain control, but even at full volume, there is no sound......I believe the output direct from an RCA out of a DVD player is much too low to show any output to the SUB, since it is usually amplified to Line Level via a Preamp or processor, normally....

I've actually found the connectors and REL posts its wire diagrams on their website, so I will try a DIY cable initially. ..Until, I get the Neutrik Speakon conntector, the REL sits silent.....

i assume you do not have the owners manual????? if not go on rel site and see if they might. some manufactures do this so you can download the manuals. i think you have to look at the sumiko site and then go to rel as i believe they are their distributor. i think you can go into the tape loop or aux. if you have a selector that says recording.try putting the rca from the storm into that. i looked at my integrated amp and it has recording and input selector. turn the sub's volume down and try tape loop and then slowly turn up the rel. i believe that will work, not as good as the neutrik from having a rel stadium 3. are you aware of the proper set up of rel's?????? if not i can explain it to you as they have to be corner loaded for best results and thats the starting point. there is also certain situations that you do not use the spikes either
