While this is as patently exciting as watching paint dry, may I get back to Al on my REL subwoofer hookup?
Al, thanks for your research into REL's instruction manuals for the proper wiring of a mono block amp to the sub's balanced input. I have not experienced any adverse effects from my equipment by combining the yellow and red wires onto the (+) speaker output terminal and the black onto the (-) terminal, and I hope this is because I have been using the unbalanced input on the REL all along. On the Bryston 4BSST stereo amp I used to use with only one REL Stata, the yellow and red were each attached to the left and right (+) speaker output terminals respectively, and the black was attached to one of the (-) output terminals, user's choice on that one. With going to a mono amp for each channel, I was told to combine the red and yellow as first described, but as you have informed me, this does not account for the full amplitude signal from the (-) output. I am hoping the unbalanced input on the REL does account for it, as the system does sound very pleasing as is, but I am interested in revising the hookup to the balanced input, as well, per your invaluable advice.
Regards, Joe
