REL Acoustics Cart-2 for Planar 2 Subwoofer

A Purpose-Built Floor Stand for the REL Planar PL-2 Subwoofer

The Cart-2 is REL's dedicated mobile floor stand for the Planar PL-2 subwoofer, giving you a freestanding alternative to permanently mounting the PL-2 on a wall. It's designed for open-plan rooms, multipurpose spaces, rental properties, and any installation where drilling into a wall isn't practical or desired.

This is not a universal subwoofer stand. The Cart-2's width, structural proportions, and mounting points are built specifically around the PL-2's dimensions and weight, so the subwoofer sits securely and at the right height and angle for REL's intended boundary-effect bass performance.

Built to the PL-2's Exact Dimensions and Weight

At 28 inches wide, the Cart-2 is sized specifically to support the PL-2, which weighs around 45 pounds. Rather than a generic equipment stand pressed into service, the Cart-2's structure and mounting arrangement are engineered around this one subwoofer, so the PL-2 sits at the correct working distance from the wall to preserve the boundary reinforcement REL's Planar design relies on for its low-frequency scale.

Controlled-Resistance Wheels for Deliberate Placement

The Cart-2's wheels are designed to let you reposition the subwoofer when you want to, without it drifting or rolling on its own during normal use. That makes it practical to experiment with placement as you fine-tune bass performance, or to move the subwoofer out of the way entirely when the room is being used for something other than listening.

A Design Language That Matches the Planar Series

REL describes the Cart-2's design as inspired by Scandinavian modernist furniture, with a base, handle, and detachable foot that echo the clean lines of the Planar subwoofer itself. It's finished in Piano Black or Gloss White specifically to match the PL-2's own cabinet finishes, so the pairing looks intentional rather than improvised.

Is the REL Cart-2 Right for You?

• You own, or plan to buy, a REL Planar PL-2. The Cart-2 is built specifically for the PL-2's dimensions and weight, not as a general-purpose subwoofer stand.
• You don't want to permanently wall-mount your subwoofer. One retailer specifically notes the cart is "essential if you are not wall-mounting" the Planar subwoofer, since setting it directly on the floor isn't the intended use case.
• Your room layout or use changes over time. Controlled-resistance wheels make it practical to reposition the PL-2 as furniture, seating, or room purpose shifts.
• You want the finish to visually match your PL-2. Piano Black and Gloss White options are designed to coordinate directly with the subwoofer's own cabinet color.
• One honest limitation: the Cart-2 is not compatible with the smaller Planar PL-1, which requires its own separate Cart-1; make sure you're ordering the cart that matches your specific Planar model.

Setup, Compatibility & What's Included

The Cart-2 is compatible only with the REL Planar PL-2 subwoofer; it is not designed for the smaller PL-1 or for other subwoofers outside the Planar line. Included in the box: the cart base, handle, three mounting bolts, an Allen wrench, and a detachable foot. Assembly hardware is included, but the PL-2 subwoofer itself is sold separately and is required to use the cart as intended.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Cart-2 fit the Planar PL-1?

No. The Cart-2 is built for the PL-2's exact size and weight. The smaller PL-1 uses its own separate cart, the Cart-1, which is sized differently.

Do I need the Cart-2 if I'm wall-mounting my PL-2?

No. The PL-2 ships with its own wall bracket for permanent wall mounting. The Cart-2 is an optional alternative for listeners who want to place the subwoofer freestanding in the room instead.

Does the Cart-2 include the PL-2 subwoofer?

No. The Cart-2 is sold as the stand only. A REL Planar PL-2 subwoofer is required and sold separately.

Can I move the subwoofer around easily once it's on the cart?

Yes. The Cart-2's controlled-resistance wheels are designed to make repositioning easy when you want to, while still holding the subwoofer securely in place during normal listening.

Do I need any tools to assemble the Cart-2?

An Allen wrench is included with the mounting hardware, so no separate tools should be needed for standard assembly.
