Well done! I don't have two subs yet, and don't have REL, but agree with setting frequency range and volume very low. Just enough to augment the bottom octave, and not feature the subs. I'm only occasionally aware my sub is on.
I finally added a second REL Sub
It's taken me years to get to this point. Subwoofers were 2-channel system blasphemy when I was coming up in the hobby. As of today, I now have 2, REL T9is. They are providing sub-bass and filling out the picture for Klipsch Cornwall IVs. Even with a loudspeaker as massive and efficient as the Cornwall IV, they fill things out nicely.
How pleasing it was to hear the two in unison. I run them so low on crossover and volume that the only thing you hear is sweeter more extended highs against a fuller picture down low. They are simply not audible in their own right. Yes, it's true--good sub bass management helps treble and midrange.
As a hack musician of 20 years or so, I can tune them by ear when I hear a well recorded kick drum, bass guitar and horns. I tried tuning with mics and software but the good ol' ear does very well here.
If you're on the fence about one or maybe a second you owe it to yourself to try it. Is SWARM next? Doubtful. This is, however, very pleasing indeed.
