I've been trying to fix the amp on my Rel Britannia - I've replaced the relay and a few capacitors hoping to fix the problem but I'm likely over my head and my problems persist.
I was thinking of buying a new plate amp from Hypex or a chepaer amp from Dayton but I'm also wondering if instead I should cut my loses and get a more modern sub. The smaller footprint of a new Rel T7X would be nice but I can't help think the massive 100+ lb Britannia is a much better box. What do you guys think? What would you do?

I'm in similar situation with a REL and looking at plate amplifier or external amplifier options. Just curious, what did u end up doing? I assume you have to get a MDF to seal off the rear amplifier cut-out anyway...
I’d resurrect the Britannia, there’s something about the old school RELs.
Either a replacement plate amp or external amp would do the job.

That's actually a good idea. Saves the extra effort of dealing with the amp plate cut out. Dies the amp have to be subwoofer amp or any amp with correct power rating and impedence will do?
The crown I have can be bridged mono to increase the output but any amp will do. You do need to deal witth the crossover.
