REL - T/7x - Active Subwoofer Review: Unmatched Bass Precision
Welcome to our REL - T/7x - Active Subwoofer Review. If you’re searching for deep, tuneful bass that marries speed and power in a compact chassis, the T/7x has the credentials to redefine your listening experience. Fitted with an 8" long-throw FibreAlloy™ driver, a 10" passive radiator and a 200W MOSFET amplifier, it’s engineered for audiophiles who demand both finesse and force.

Design & Build Quality
The REL T/7x strikes an elegant balance between aesthetics and functionality. Its precision-engineered cabinet employs gentle radii to reduce visual mass, offering either a high-gloss black or white finish applied in five meticulous coats. At 356 x 320 x 363mm and 17.5kg, it’s compact enough for most listening spaces yet substantial enough to minimise resonances and cabinet colouration.

Performance: Speed Meets Strength
Under the hood, the T/7x combines an 8" FibreAlloy™ inverted aluminium active driver and a 10" long-throw passive radiator to achieve true extension down to -6dB at 30Hz. The stiffer suspensions and increased cabinet volume translate into rapid transient response and authoritative bass output that remains clean even at high levels. REL’s 200W Class A/B MOSFET amplifier ensures ample headroom, offering punchy dynamics without the compression or distortion often heard at the limits of lesser designs.
Seamless Integration & Connectivity
One of the T/7x’s standout features is its high-level Neutrik Speakon input, which draws zero power from your main amplifier yet blends effortlessly with any quality speaker set-up to create a cohesive soundstage. For LFE-heavy home theatre setups, the dedicated RCA LFE input handles movie scores and effects with cinematic authority. If you prefer a wire-free install, REL’s Arrow™ Wireless option delivers zero compression audio with rock-solid timing.
