If these two locations don't fix the issue leave the blk. wire disconnected and run a separate wire from your amp's RCA gnd. to the sub's RCA input gnd. .

I know this is a bit of an older thread, but here's what happened......as soon as I got the D'agostino stereo amplifier in the setup, I hooked up the RELs the exact same way using their neutrik speakon cables. Clean powerful bass ensued! Absolutely no problems. I can only chalk it up to the McIntosh MC 402.......this is the only amplifier I have ever had (up until the S250) used with REL subwoofers and all of them had the same issue. They only think I can't figure out is that I've spoken to 2 dealers and other users who have never had any Mac issues with REL subs so I have no idea what the deal was. All I know is that with the Dag amplifier, there is no issue. Weird.
