I love this subwoofer! I didn’t want to run cables to the back of my room where I decided to place the sub, so I got the wireless kit Rel Model:HT-Air MKII SKU:6560282. Extremely simple setup. Creates its own wireless connection. Comes with everything you need. You just need power outlets to plug into near your receiver and also where you decide to place your sub. If the placement of the sub is close enough to your receiver, you just need a power outlet and an RCA cable to go from the receiver to the sub. No wireless kit required. I upgraded my RCA’s to Audioquest Black Labs. I wanted to reduce as much unwanted noise as possible. Sealed system provides beautiful clean punch and rumble while watching movies, and is extremely tight when listening to uncompressed audio 2.1. I can’t imagine anyone being unsatisfied with this sub. After accommodating for my specific room acoustics, I have it dialed back to 40%. You will not be disappointed.

Upgraded system with 1st sub, after upgrading AVR earlier in the year that accommodated 9.4 After about 40 year old HK system that still works great at 4.0, So obviously a major upgrade. Rell sub was recommended by several Best Buy experts and glad went higher end. Sub sounds awesome, did need to adjust AVR settings a bit, boosted base too much so tuned it as needed on AVR settings for a great blend of new base range. Music and Movies all sound much better. Old system is great for game room, but no going back from 9.1, except forward to a 2nd sub in the future, and some updated speakers.

REL specializes in subwoofers and it shows. They are great for both movies abs music. They are in a sealed enclosure witch gives them a tighter sound while remaining quite powerful. I’ve been into audio equipment fir 50 years and i have to say the REL subs are inw if the most impressive components I’ve ever cone across.
