Thanks for sharing! I had 2 REL Carbon Specials. John and the REL team are great. My journey, however, took me to JL Audio Fathom. Much smaller box and I found them very easy to integrate. The sound is absolutely amazing out of them and I prefer the XLR low level input. I’m sure there is some value though with the high level connection that REL recommends but I’m not sure if it’s a transformative difference between the two over preference and another connectivity option.
I love them both and also had the same journey. Two carbons to two fathom 113. But then again I had fathoms before too. If price is no object there is no substitute for Fathoms
Very cool, had rel 1205’s. And I switched to SVS PB 3000’s. I am having trouble getting used to the SVS subs. I got a good deal on the SVS but would like to get a pair of the 1510’s
All great subs. None of them calibrate like this though...that's the other video I just made so stay tuned. This is for High Level Calibrations only from T series up
@@fishis14 the rel subs are smoother, just lack a bit low end. I use golden ear speakers with subs, so tuning is a challenge. The SVS have more bass, seem to be a bit boomy at times. SVS has way more output and is louder in the lower ranges. They shake my house if needed. I have the PB300’s and they are big and ported. I have the ports plugged, but the rel seemed to be cleaner. I need to work on the tuning and I have always preferred sealed, even in car audio.
I have two REL Q200 and my knobs are alightly different, my question is around the negative connection. I have bought some Spekon connectors why isnt the negative speaker connection used? For example I have wired mine up to plus and minus on the speaker out because my cinema amp does not have a ground per say. Does this matter or am I doing it wrong?
I'd look at the manual for like a T9 ...there are a bunch of ways you can hook it up using and not using cretain wires for different reasons. But some make it louder....some make it too loud...and no you're not doing it wrong. It's not a speaker so it doesn't need the positive and negative. it's pulling info
I start Xover at 13..and flex from there. Every room is different just have to play with it. and great...Sopra one of my fav speakers of all time. I owned them myself.

Svs pb16 ultra with the fone app was a game changer for me ❤
Great sub and great feature.

How are the svs subs different if you don't mind my asking?

Didn't like high-level input
Gain aggressive hard to dial

Yeah, Nathan East's bass sounds amazing on "Get Lucky"!
Love it. Great track

How many clicks are you using on the crossover with the focal speakers I have sopra 2 myself.

What is 13 clicks on hz on the dial it doesn't say.@@TheaterAdvice_FCAV
I don't reallly know and honestly I don't think they care..they want you to do it by feel and ear and not by numbers.
OK thanks...
