Subwoofers — Rel Acoustics Classic 99

The Classic 99 is a powered subwoofer from REL Acoustics, sitting above the Classic 98 with somewhat greater internal amplification while sharing the exceptional 6Hz bass reach. The Classic 99 brings REL's more accomplished current engineering to serious dedicated bass reinforcement.

Key specs that matter

Rated response reaches down to an exceptionally deep 6Hz, matching the Classic 98. Internal amplification delivers 450W - considerably more than the Classic 98's 300W. At 40.0 x 53.4 x 35.0cm, the Classic 99 represents a meaningful step up in scale from the Classic 98.

Sound and use context

Expect more authoritative bass reinforcement than the Classic 98, reflecting the greater 450W amplification within a larger cabinet, consistent with REL's broader considered engineering philosophy specifically aimed at musically coherent low-frequency integration.

Pairing

As a self-powered subwoofer, the Classic 99 connects using REL's characteristic high-level speaker-terminal connection method for coherent integration with a main speaker system.

Alternatives

REL's own Classic 98 sits below this model at more modest amplification for buyers wanting a more accessible alternative.
