Setting up stereo Rel subwoofers….

@newfzx7 i agree, that’s why I was questioning setting up a single sub then adding the second.  Do both at the same time as REL, and you, recommend.  I did end of moving my REL subs arrangement though into an asymmetrical placement that works better for my room.

Thanks for all the replies. I did the crawl and found 2 spots for the a T 7x’s. It was noticeably louder and bassy. One was in the corner, one to the left about midway between listening position and speakers. I may try both out side and behind the main speakers just to compare but that defeats the purpose of the crawl. 
2 questions: how

may “clicks” on the crossover do you have?

And did anyone disconnect the yellow wire for less output ? I have plenty of bass (sounds great/ Mofi Sourcepoint 8 btw)

th and!

I have two REL, easiest setup for subs, have to be inside speakers as I have Klipschorns.

Clicks or crossover point will be highly variable per speakers and room. I disconnected yellow on both, excessive bass with both red/yellow/signal wires. I also have monoblocks so this may have role in this.

["Been moving my sub about to the right or left of rig for months. Still not happy turn it up and midrange gets smeared turn it down and punch just drops. So finally broke down and did the floor crawl thing with sub in listening position. Son of a biscuit it worked. Really didnt want it in this position but it sounds so much better.

How many people end up with it here?

["REL subwoofers (I still like our original term Sub Bass System for its more complete description of what we do)"]

Locating and positioning a subwoofer within a rooms standing wave bass modes using the subwoofer crawl is the first step with actual subwoofers. Despite REL using Richard Edmund Lord's term in the above clarification that their products are actually (-6dB) Sub Bass Systems, jbuhl11 clearly benefited from bass mode positioning.

In my short time with a large REL I found it also benefited from the bass mode position as well as using the preamps direct L+R low level XLR connections.

Down loading a low frequency cadence is more convenient for the crawl than track #4 on the Sneakers album. Good luck with your setup. 

In home theater setups, I placed the subs near the corners for maximum gain/bass. For audio, I placed the subs out into the room, once behind the speakers, the other times on the outside of the main speakers. I never wanted to actually hear big bass, just a better over all fullness with clean bass
