I recently replaced the factory supplied amp to sub cable with Signal Cable's version which was less than half the price of REL's upgraded cable.
Suffice to say, a big, positive improvement. What I hear is a transparency increase with my Pulsar's and a jump in low bass definition and imaging. For the price, well worthwhile. And Frank does offer a 30 day money back.
Update. Frank recommends 50 hours of break in and that estimate is pretty accurate. Kicked into hi gear two nights ago. Fuller / deeper bass, more transparency, etc. Highly recommended.
I ordered a pair of cables from Signal for my new pair of G1 MK2s. Worked out well because the cables came (by USPS) a few hrs before the dealer delivered the subs. Frank was a good guy to work with and he expedited my order. The subs/cables still need more break-in but they sound good in my crappy room.
I think at some point I will order another pair but at $11k for the set they're not cheap. I'm also a little concerned that the stacked pair would be as tall as my main speakers (Hansen The Prince). Maybe that's not really a problem though.

I've had the Bassline Blue cable from REL. It's very good but like $600 each. Someone recommended Signal to me as something comparable at half the price. I've heard Analysis Plus is very good as well:

I have tried a 6 pack of S/510 and LOVE THEM! My room/system isn't up to par for the G1s. If you can pull off another set of G1 MK2 I say go for it. I'm pretty sure you will love them.
I am thinking of adding a REL S-812 to my system. I have a question about the starting order: first it must be the amplifier and then the REL, the other way around or it is indifferent.
In my opinion the amp should be matched with the main speakers first. REL have built in powerful amps in class D ( those in S/812 have 800 W ) and they need very little power from the main amp to work. There are two ways to connect subwoofers - high level speakon cables and low level rca. In my system the first option is much better. I tried S/812 - they are very good but if you can afford I would recommend new Carbon Special , a significant improvement compared to S/812.
Well I think Google Translate did not say what it wanted to ask. I was referring to the power on order of the devices. I do not know if the order is important, or is indifferent.
Just got a T/7i and trying to integrate it with some Vapor Sound Auroras. So far, I have the crossover between 9-10 o'clock on dial and input between 11-12. I find with many current digital files on Tidal/Roon the bass is a little too earth-shaking. I like the bass evident but not overwhelming.
I think it's a good thing that you can clearly hear when the sub is not blending. Patience and fine tuning will make the transition inaudible. I find it easier to be below optimum and increase volume and x-over accordingly.
Just replaced the T7i with the T9x and am very pleased with the change. However, I better appreciate how good the T7i really is. Amazing what it does for its small size.

I would also recommend buy a "Subdude" platform for your REL. Available on Amazon, inexpensive, and works quite well to mitigate floor induced vibrations.
Three different Morrow cables.
Signal cable.
Analysis plus.
Ohno,
Not to forget REL bassline blue.
I use a single REL 31 with TAD me-1.
My TADs will be biwired from recently acquired CH Precision A1.5.
A1.5 has only a single set of Argento binding posts, no option for bananas.
To begin with, I will have to check out in the next weeks (working abroad…) or months whether these binding posts could handle 3 sets of speaker cable spades.
Otoh,
L1 pre has two sets of XLR outputs, so maybe I should run a set of XLR to the REL as well,
A1.5 has pass through XLR outlets which would allow running the REL with XLR from these, too.
Question 1:
Is the REL high level speakon cable connection so much better to struggle with three spades on oe binding post?
Question 2:
Which high level cable would you recommend?
All cables mentioned above have their fans.
