Design

Design Isn’t Everything, It’s the Only Thing

HT/1510 Predator confidently delivers massive upgrades in design elegance, performance and execution of every detail in cabinet design. Beauty, in this case, isn’t skin deep. We start by using right-sized cabinetry, beautifully executed in horizontally line-grained black with a subtle sheen that evokes state of the art amplifiers. This brings to the HT range the same sleek, elegant proportions used in our Reference models at a fraction of the price.

REL designs benefit from incorporating integral engineering solutions throughout their designs. Check out our BrilliantBrace. Employed inside each HT/1510, it cradles the rear of the driver to eliminate shipping damage, quiets and redirects energy normally trapped in the driver, and quiets top, bottom and both sidewalls of the cabinet. Brilliant. And the full depth rails used to support and reactively brace against the powerful movements such a powerful subwoofer can produce, also means Predator II can be stacked in Line Arrays of 3/channel for the ultimate in home theatre, to carry performance up the entire height of massive projection screens.

Driver

Size Matters, Now More Than Ever

There is simply something special about a large driver effortlessly distributing bass that small subs working hard can never match. At the heart of every REL lies a truly great driver. HT/1510 Predator’s 15” (380mm) driver retains the combination of  glass fiber and carbon fiber center cap that allows quick, reactive bass with slam that is the hallmark of great theatre sound.

The lightweight glass fiber allows the 3” (75mm) voice coil to accelerate HT/1510 Predator’s cone instantly, while the carbon fiber center cap stiffens the composite structure, ensuring that even in the biggest of moments, its cone structure remains intact and un-phased by massive signals. Naturally, this delivers benefits for music reproduction as well. Power handling has been increased permitting the much more powerful amp to give its best without fear that the driver might not keep up. Scale, speed and signature performance are this flagship’s reason for being.

Amplifier

Now Hear This

If 800 watts wasn’t enough for you, surely the 1,000-watt Class D linear power supply amplifier in the new HT/1510 Predator will cure what ails you. Featuring (4) x 400-watt mosfets and a monster power supply—it’s critically important to have massive current reserves for when the explosions and special effects hit. HT/1510 Predator’s amplifier brings massive power with almost limitless reserves. This creates huge output that is available instantly, almost dismissively, and is delivered in the effortless manner worthy of the lead dog in the HT family.

Line Array

Stand and Deliver

HT/1510 Predator offers one more uniquely REL innovation. For truly over the top performance, Predators are designed to be stacked up to three (3) units high using included REL Couplers™ that connect lower units to upper units. These solid, milled aluminum couplers bolt securely to each sub and along with the substantial rails on the underside of each cabinet create an extremely heavy, sturdy tower of bass. When used in stereo stacks (6 total, 3 per side) it represents over 8000 watts of peak power forcing (6) x 15” drivers to give their utmost in the service of breathtaking bass delivered in oceanic torrents of bass.

What are the benefits of adding the HT/1510 Predator to my system?

The HT/1510 Predator is built to deliver powerful, deep, and tactile bass for home theater—but as a REL, it also must sound exceptional with music. To meet this standard, it features a 15" CarbonGlas™ driver, ultra-fast filters, and a 1,000W Class D amplifier, resulting in a subwoofer with remarkable speed and authority down to 20Hz. The HT/1510 enhances every experience with rich textural detail and deep low-end impact—perfect for cinematic immersion or full-range musical extension.

Can the HT/1510 Predator be used in a music system?

If it’s a REL subwoofer, it’s going to sound great with music. Every model we make must excel with music first. From there, we pursue our design goals to deliver deep impact and speed—creating subwoofers that elevate both music and home theater systems.

Can the HT/1510 Predator be integrated with other REL subwoofer series?

Yes, one of the key design goals of the HT/1510 Predator was to ensure it blends seamlessly—not just sonically, but visually—with other REL subwoofer lines, including the Serie T/x and Serie S. This allows users who value both home theater and music to build exceptional mixed-use systems that deliver the best of both worlds.

Is the HT/1510 Predator wireless compatible?

Yes, the HT/1510 Predator is compatible with both the HT-Air MKII and Airship II wireless transmitters. For systems using the subwoofer output or Left and Right RCA pre-outs, the HT-Air MKII is the ideal choice. For the ultimate musical experience, pair the HT/1510 with the Airship II, which enables REL’s renowned High Level connectivity technology.

What size room is the HT/1510 Predator good for?

The HT/1510 Predator is a high-output subwoofer capable of going subsonic, easily pressurizing larger spaces. It performs best when given room to breathe, ensuring the space isn't overwhelmed by excessive bass energy. Rooms over 200 square feet are ideal for the HT/1510 to deliver clean, controlled, and powerful low-frequency performance.

Can I stack HT/1510 Predators in a line array configuration?

Yes! The HT/1510 Predator was specifically designed for vertical stacking in larger theater and music spaces. Each unit includes two Stacking Plates to safely and securely mount the subwoofers together. The HT/1510 Line Array is REL’s most accessible Line Array system, built on the same core principles as our Serie S and Reference Line Arrays.
An HT/1510 Predator Line Array delivers exceptional clarity, impact, and scale—making the space feel effortlessly balanced, palpable, and alive. It's a performance upgrade that can be built gradually, one subwoofer at a time.

Awards & Industry Reviews

"This is one of the speediest home theater 15 inch subs that I've had come through my home theater. Its got ample musical chops and it does hang pretty closely with its more music centric very nimble little brother the T/9x. It's main claim to fame is going to be used in a home theater environment for movies . I felt it had more low end with a beefy heavier presence than its predecessor. I'd say its like an SVS subwoofer but with more control and less bloat."

"A couple takeaways that I got is that every time the monster would swipe or a card door is closing you would get that immediate thump from the center channel which I think if you didn’t have a center channel subwoofer you would just feel it from the front left and right…This is more direct and because when you see the monster swipe on screen in the center of the screen it sounds like he’s actually hitting this person or there’s a car door slamming it is coming from the center."

"Is this bad boy good for music? Yes, absolutely! It is phenomenal with music. If you have a mixed system, if you have a stereo only, a dedicated theater, it doesn’t matter. This subwoofer can do all of it."

"This sub could pound my room like a punching bag, and the bass was very much on the chest-thumping level. Low frequencies were given a physical presence to the point where I noticed I was inadvertently bracing myself."

"The REL HT/1510 Predator II is a well-designed, powerhouse of a subwoofer. It rejects conventional approaches to subwoofer design and the quest for outright extension, preferring a more straightforward philosophy that favours time domain performance and slam. It’s a refreshing approach that results in one of the most impressive subwoofers I’ve had the pleasure of listening to."

Reviews

Rel is a game changer

"I started off with one 1510 predator which smoked my two svs sb4000’s in both quality, speed and low end. I added the second and was blown away by the way music sounded with a ht sub. I have know moved onto the 6 pack, and let me just say, it’s six pack or nothing. Do I have bass yessss, as much as I want. But let me say this, it isn’t the amount of quality bass that I enjoy the most, it’s the amount of micro details, soundstage and imagining that I got. I have heard many say it’s a gimmick, I am the first to say they haven’t heard it set up right. My depth grew my large amounts, my scale is on point and out of this world. Layers are now easily defined, stage is set in proper place with proper height and placement. But let’s talk about bass, it comes in this wave of energy thru my room, a movie scene with a sledge hammer hitting the floor and breaking the ground, feels and sounds like that’s what’s happening. You ever wanna know what it’s like to get hit in a boxing match, well these 6 Rel’s will have you feeling like your in the ring. And gunfight scenes will have you wear body armor watching a movie. Music is hands down perfect, the speed, accuracy and delicate even to produce sounds I just didn’t know where in the recording. I could go on and on about how pleased I am, but my best advice is get yourself 6 of these, and you will not be unhappy at all"

Home Theater 101

"I own both 1508 and now 1510. Difference is beyond the 200watt specs. . Movies/Music are next level. . Problem with subwoofer hype is how low can you go? Trust me I’ve gone that route. . There’s far more to theater than the lowest freq game REL nails it!"

Sean H. (5/5)

Astonishing!

"I was considering an Adam Audio Sub15 at nearly twice the price of admission of the HT/1510 when on sale. Instead, I decided to try the HT/1510 Predator because it's sealed as opposed to the Sub15's downward firing bass port. It replaced my Sunfire TSEQ12 which is now serving LFE function on my dedicated two channel system. I'm happy to report the HT/1510 is rather astonishing to say the least in my 7. 1 channel home theatre. It's connected via balanced XLR to the LFE channel and blends seamlessly with my seven Adam Audio active pro audio monitors; a pair of A8X's for front left/right, one A77X for center, and four A7X's for surround/back channels. The HT/1510's bass is palpable, effortless, and musical; it pressurizes my 4,500 cubic foot HT nicely without drawing attention to itself. Very impressive dynamics when called for, with the finest bass definition I've ever heard! Someday I would like to compare the HT/1510 w/ the aforementioned Sub15 side by side. In the meantime, I'm very pleased with the performance so far of Rel's HT/1510 Predator!"

Amazing product

"I have two of these 1510 in my system. These subs compliment my Klipsch Cornwall IV perfectly!! Not boomy and no gimmicky app just dial them in and enjoy pure musical performance! If you didn't see these you would not even know they are there,they blend perfectly!"

Jason J. (5/5)

This is the thing.

"I hadn't expected a subwoofer to so dramatically enhance my Klipsch Forte and tube amplifier setup, especially since I've had other subwoofers before. But this one completely blew me away. It has given the music a solid foundation and noticeably broadened the soundstage, with an especially impressive effect on quiet music. Rediscovering incredible bass details in electronic albums I've known for 20 years was a revelation. So impressed, I immediately ordered a second subwoofer, although one at just 25% power is already sufficient and very physical. A magic box. P. S. : High-level input via Airship II isn't ideal due to my tube amplifier's limited power. XLR or RCA line-in inputs are the better choice."

Adam Z. (5/5)

Match made in heaven!

"About a year ago,I bought this sub to pair with my Cornwalls at REL’S recommendation. I could not be happier with my decision. If you didn’t see the sub, you wouldn't know its in the room. Once properly broken in and adjusted it blends perfectly! If you’re looking for a sub thats powerful and not boomy, this is for you. Its also impresses with the subtle nuisances in 2 channel stereo and movies. It does NOT compete with my Cornwalls, it compliments them. Zero muddied up midrange. Predator takes over where my Cornwalls left off. Not only will this sub literally shake the room, it does so in a tight, no distortion manner thats pleasing to the ear, rather than sounding harsh or boomy. It is equally impressive at low to mid volume, enhancing my system, not overpowering it. Ive been building my system for 3 years now and the Predator 1510 is the cherry on top, and in my opinion, A great value for a high end system. Also, REL’s customer service is top notch! Amazing product!"

Rel Predator HT/1510

"Replaced my living room Velodyne sub which we loved for many years. This is the second REL product we purchased from Best Buy/Magnolia. It exceeds all previous performance subs - including my music room Def tech towers. I would compare the REL HT/1510 to a great car Aston Martin DB9 - lots of horse power built in and ready deliver on demand! Time to test the car chase in No time to die!!"

"I've had a lot of subs over the years this is by far the best I've had the Rel predator 1510 the bass is clean and tight I've heard and felt things with this sub I've never heard before now I know what I've been missing highly recommend this sub. Started running in at lower volumes and was a bit unsure but after running in for 24 hours playing time wow what a difference amazing so pleased thanks Rel"

Pra (5/5)

This is the one! (or possibly 2)

"After auditioning multiple subwoofers from SVS including the PB16 Ultra, SB4000, SB3000 and Klipsch RP series, here are my thoughts. The REL H/T1510 subwoofer is the best sounding most accurate subwoofer for the money FULL STOP! The Predator isn't just a box that goes boom; it's a ferocious beast that prowls through your living room, ready to pounce on your eardrums. With its sleek matte black finish and an imposing 15-inch driver staring at you like a sci-fi creature, it demands attention. It's a bit like having a miniature black hole in your living room, and it's equally mesmerizing. REL’s 15” sub is like having a personal earthquake generator, but in a good way. However, it's not all about brute force; the Predator has finesse too. It integrates seamlessly with your existing audio setup. You can dial in the perfect blend of bass to match your main speakers, creating a sonic landscape that will leave you grinning from ear to ear. The Predator is not just a subwoofer; it's a full-blown audio experience. It looks cool, sounds even cooler, and it's easy to integrate into your existing setup. If you want to take your home theater or music listening to the next level and turn your living room into a sonic adventure zone, the Predator is the beast you need. Just be prepared to have your neighbors knocking on your door to join the party because this subwoofer is a showstopper. Roar on, Predator, roar on! :t-rex:🔊🎶"

A A. (5/5)

The Predator

"This sub is exceptionally fast and if you need to destroy it, it is simply perfect. I can watch all my favorite movies again because what these subs do is simply unfathomable. Perhaps if an 18" version were to arrive, the home theater audience would be very happy. I have currently bought two, but I am planning to buy two more because it is so good. Highly recommended sub!!!"
