That difference at 35Hz seems quite unusual to me. Copper cables like that should be fairly flat down to DC. I wonder whether the mechanical construction of the cable assembly of the DIY version is physically damping out the resonance better than the REL cable? Have you tried putting a heavy slab, maybe granite, on top of the sub woofers for stability?
