Have you tried lowering the crossover frequency? And maybe turn the gain down a bit?
Is the sub in a corner where you might be getting a lot bass reinforcement?
Rel T/7x sub sound improvement but…
I just installed a single Rel sub to supplement my b&w 805 d4, and the sound was improved quite a lot. However I follow Rel official instructions and place the sub behind the speaker (right), and now I feel like many of the bass dominant instruments location are shifting to the right side. Is it my illusion, or is it real distortion? I don’t want to buy 2 sub to pair!

Feel free to move the sub around to get the sound you want. The REL instructions are a suggested starting point. I know you stated you don’t want a second sub but I would highly recommend one. I had one previously and upgraded to two and it reduces the kinds of issues you are hearing as well as bass nodes. It increases sound stage and imaging as well. IMHO it’s well worth the cost. By the way, nice subs I have two T/5x subs and they are great. |
@sls883 brings up a good point as well, if the sub stands out you’ve likely got some integration to work on with crossover, volume and phase as well as placement. |
I tried to lower the crossover frequency so mainly output the non-directional bass, but that suppose will break the smooth crossover from main speaker to sub. I really do not have enough space for another sub, so maybe I just place the sub at the middle of the main? (I did not see anybody doing that in yt) |
