Expert Insight
The REL HT/1510 Predator II delivers exactly what a serious home theater needs: effortless low-end power, tremendous impact, and the speed to keep bass from becoming heavy or uncontrolled. The 15-inch driver gives movie effects impressive physical weight, while the 1,000-watt amplifier has the headroom to handle sudden dynamic peaks without sounding strained. Its refined cabinet and ability to integrate with other REL models also make it an excellent choice for a theater that needs to look as polished as it sounds.

REL HT/1510 Predator II 15-Inch Home Theater Subwoofer
Product Description
The REL HT/1510 Predator II raises the standard for high-performance home theater bass with substantially more power, deeper extension, faster dynamics, and a refined design that integrates beautifully with premium audio systems. Built as a complete evolution of the original award-winning HT/1510, Predator II combines a 1,000-watt Class A/B linear power supply amplifier with a newly developed 15-inch (380mm) CarbonGlas™ driver for explosive LFE effects, effortless scale, and the speed needed to keep every impact controlled and precise.
At the heart of Predator II is its large 15-inch driver, engineered with a lightweight glass-fiber cone and stiff carbon-fiber center cap. This composite construction allows the 3-inch (75mm) voice coil to accelerate the cone quickly while maintaining rigidity during demanding movie effects and powerful musical passages. Increased power handling allows the driver to take full advantage of Predator II's upgraded amplifier, resulting in bigger dynamics, greater output, and the signature speed for which REL subwoofers are known.
The amplifier delivers 1,000 watts through a robust Class A/B linear power supply architecture featuring four 400-watt MOSFETs and substantial current reserves. When explosions, sound effects, and deep cinematic bass arrive suddenly, Predator II has the power available to respond instantly and effortlessly. Specialized home theater versions of REL's PerfectFilter™ technology further optimize low-frequency performance, delivering flatter deep bass extension down to 20 Hz and exceptional .1/LFE output.
Performance is matched by an equally purposeful cabinet. Predator II features sleek proportions, a horizontally line-grained black finish with a subtle sheen, and engineering solutions designed to control the immense forces generated by its driver. REL's internal BrilliantBrace™ system supports the rear of the driver, redirects unwanted energy, reduces cabinet-wall resonance, and helps protect the driver during shipping. Full-depth structural rails provide additional reactive bracing and allow multiple Predator II subwoofers to be stacked in Line Arrays of three per channel for large-scale home theaters and projection systems.
The HT/1510 Predator II is also designed to integrate beautifully into sophisticated multi-subwoofer REL systems. It can be blended with Serie T/x, Serie S, and REL Reference models, making it an exceptional solution for systems that demand both audiophile-quality musical bass and the massive output required for reference-level home theater.

- Low-Resonance Cabinet Performance: BrilliantBrace™ and extensive structural bracing help control unwanted cabinet energy so more of what you hear comes from the driver rather than the enclosure.
FAQ Section
Q: How powerful is the REL HT/1510 Predator II?
A: Predator II uses a 1,000-watt Class A/B linear power supply amplifier with four 400-watt MOSFETs and substantial current reserves, giving it the ability to produce powerful bass transients and demanding home theater effects with exceptional authority.
Q: What size driver does the HT/1510 Predator II use?
A: It features a 15-inch (380mm) CarbonGlas™ driver with a lightweight glass-fiber cone, carbon-fiber center cap, and 3-inch (75mm) voice coil for a combination of speed, rigidity, and high-output capability.
Q: How low can the REL Predator II play?
A: Specialized home theater versions of REL's PerfectFilter™ technology help Predator II deliver flatter deep bass extension down to approximately 20 Hz.
Q: Is the Predator II designed only for movies?
A: No. While it is optimized for exceptionally powerful home theater and .1/LFE reproduction, its fast and controlled 15-inch driver also provides the precision and responsiveness needed for high-quality music playback.
Q: What is REL BrilliantBrace™?
A: BrilliantBrace™ is an internal structural system that supports the rear of the driver, helps protect it during shipping, redirects energy that might otherwise remain trapped around the driver, and reduces resonance in the cabinet's top, bottom, and sidewalls.
Q: Can multiple HT/1510 Predator II subwoofers be used together?
A: Yes. Predator II is specifically suited to multi-REL installations, and its full-depth structural rails allow units to be stacked in Line Arrays of up to three subwoofers per channel for extremely large home theater systems.
