Just got me a REL

[Jac Hawk]

Yup at last proper gut wrenching Bass, Ok the REL I've got isn't that big a Q50 to be precise, a single 12" cone, no reflex porting and a modest 50 watt RMS amp, but my lounge is small and I've got a pair of Mordaunt Short MS45Ti's as my main speakers, so for music at least not really needed.

When I 1st plugged it in and fired it up it took a while to get it properly integrated into the system, but after a full morning of tweaking it sounds sweet, TBH though you would swear all the bass is coming from the main speakers, which is how it's meant to be, Ive tried it out with a whole host of music and movies and the sound makes my sofa vibrate, just awesome

As a side note I bout it off Ebay for £44 so a bargain, and the bloke i got it off is a bit of a hifi nut, a wammer and we had a long chat about Scalford 2012 and stuff, a really nice guy, told him he should check out AOS, so you never know, anyway here's the new addition in situ, apparently they are meant to sound better firing at a wall, but i found this way was better for my setup.

Aaw lookit, a baby REL!!! It's sooo cute... Just kidding bud, a mate of mine has one and it goes down real loooow, Gratz

The original REL QBass had a BK 12" drive unit and a BK amp. Not that that is a problem, just surprising. I have 200W BK sub that is wonderful.

Mike the bargain hunter stikes again! Good work

£44 is loads compared to my last sub Rich, a Yamaha SW100 which cost me £1

[Beechwoods]

It's premium stuff though Mike. I'm jealous!

Still a bargain Mike. The driver would probably cost that new & that's forgetting the amp, other circuitry, enclosure etc.

I think I'd rather pay £44 for a REL than be given the SW100

At least it's not a pretender


Well done that man!

Don't get me wrong mate i'm over the moon, i got it on a second chance offer, the guy that won the auction didn't read that it was collection only, to be honest I don't think I would have posted it either, it weighs a bloody tonne sound wise though it took a bit of tweaking, but it was worth it, the bass is well controlled so not to sound flabby and is deep enough to get yer teeth rattling, i'm chuffed to bits, plus the guy who i bought it from was really nice and I probably met him at scalford too, what a small world

Fantastic subs Rel, I use a rather battered Q200E in my home cinema set up, that I also picked up cheap a number of years ago.

£44 Mike - brilliant - part of CAC 2013?
