Gorgeous sub. Definitely have my eyes on this one.

Agreed! It's a killer sub!

Another well done video Audio Advice. I have listened to REL in your store and solid performance.

Hi how would this match up with Wharfdale Linton?

[@AudioAdvice]

Chat or call our experts at audioadvice.com and they can look into if that's a good pairing. Thanks!

[@Z4d0k]

Using the subwoofer selector, REL suggest the Classic 98 for the Wharfdale Lintons for music and movies.

[@jerryjohnson4625]

Sounds wonderful with my Linton's. They can do alot of bass ,yes , but... the 98 adds that lowest bottom , in a luscious way.

My understanding is there are problems connecting high level to the sub using their method when connecting to Class D amps (e.g. Marantz Model 30) that is detrimental to the amp ????

[@AudioAdvice]

There can be due to the way the ground works on a Class D amp, but here is the way you connect rel.net/blog/2017-12-27/how-to/connect-rel-class-d-gear/ Thanks for watching and sharing.

[@ptg01]

@@AudioAdvice Ah.... seems a bit involved especially if all I have is a two channel amp and all my inputs are used.. Model 30 amp does not have LFE's either that I can use in lieu of speaker level. Looks like I will be out of luck ?..

[@AudioAdvice]

@@ptg01 The Model 30 has a true chassis ground on the back, its next to the phono input. You would use that per the instructions for units that have a actual chassis ground. Hopefully you will support out channel and small business and purchase your REL sub from Audio Advice.

I own two RELs subwoofers. The S3 line a little old but hard to adjust. One is down so I need to send the back plate in if I can get it off. I removed all 12 screws yet it want come off it’s on pretty good. Any suggestions on how to get it off? Let me know thanks

[@AudioAdvice]

Sorry, without seeing it in person, that is hard to say. It probably had some sort of seal that is now stuck and you will need to carefully pry it out.

[@user-gh6id4pd6i]

How do these sound running wireless?

[@AudioAdvice]

Very well if you use the REL wireless gear. Thanks for watching

[@TravisLohmannMusic]

Is there a way I could connect this subwoofer to my Sonus Faber Duetto wireless system?

[@AudioAdvice]

Yes, it should be able to connect like an regular subwoofer as well. Call or chat with our team at audioadvice.com and they can confirm compatibility before you buy.

[@BrandonBaecker]

I really want a nice looking subwoofer for my living room, but I want a ported one with lower frequency response for movies. It's a shame it's so hard to find one that's not an ugly black box.

[@AudioAdvice]

Yes, that is just what we stated. There are now very few subs with a wooden look and ported. But you are in luck as we are running a sale on exactly what you are after. www.audioadvice.com/jbl-hdi-1200p-12-inch-powered-speaker+color-Walnut

I’m guessing physics rules when it comes to subs. That said, perhaps it’s 2 difficult & expensive 4 builders 2 veneer a whale with 2 or more blow holes 🐳🤣 Subsequently, I have a piano black FVX12SE sitting in my living room 🐋🤣🖤
Nonetheless, the 98 & the KC 62 are the finalists 4 my bedroom set up. Just gotta decide which one 🤔
