Reference strada one or two subs?

I replaced the original spikes with "carpet penetrating CP1
Bearpaws" (their name) from a company called edenSound
(edensoundaudio.com). I had them drilled for 1/4" x 20 studs. Only
problems are (1) the studs go into the Gallo stands only about one-quarter
inch, (2) the studs are only 3/4" long, so shearing them is a potential
problem, and (3) they still rock a little because the footprint of the stands
isn't that large. But they do an excellent job of reducing resonances I used to
be able to feel by touching the stands. They couple better and they look cool
:-)

Total cost for 6 of these brass spikes incl. shipping was something like $240.

I suggest you read my detailed review on the Rel Strata and you might just get some ideas to experiment with.

Hope it helps, if you have any questions or require clarification drop me an email and I would be happy to share my knowledge further with you on the Rel.

Thanks guys for the advice and help. I will check out your review and hope it gives me some new ideas.

Definitely two subs, unless the one is powerful, critically-damped, and dead center. Raise your crossover to even 120-150Hz if possible. Set the subs for stereo bass and high-pass the Stradas if you have the option. The Stradas are incredible, but they get nowhere close to 40Hz, you'd have to get the Mapleshade floor stands for that.

Great thoughts, thanks! I have one sub right center and I'm planning to put the second left center. I have the one sub on high-pass and will do the same for the second. unfortunately 120hz is the highest my t1 will go but so far I'm pretty apply with it at 110hz. It took awhile to position properly but it's now integrating well and "invisible" in the room.
