Subwoofer with Thiel 2.4s?


Hi all, I'm in the process of building a new system and am considering adding a sub to my Thiel system. I'd love to get one of the Smart Subs, but they're just too damn expensive to fit into the budget. Any opinions on the other alternatives? Although I do use the system for TV and occasional movies, I'm really only interested in 2 channel.

I've read good things about the REL Strata III, but would like to hear other's opinions on the available < $1000 (used) options.

I like Thiel's warranty 10YRS.
Most others 1-3 tops.
I had bought some used JL's(113'sX4)from different sellers they were two yr. old.
Got them from the US.had them for a 8 months,one died,the other had next to no vol left.
As there was no warranty it was going to cost me a 1000 for each sub to send to JL to fix.I sold them all as is.
I wonder how many other JL sub s have crapped out over the 2-3yr period.
I liked them better than my DD-15's.
Warranty is very important to have.
I'd rather pay a nice chunk of change for a sub with warranty(10yr),than buy a cheaper sub and it's gonna crap out anyway.Save for a great sub with alot of warranty and
save alot of grief later,2-3 yr warranty doesn't seem to be even close for the price a person pays for a sub.
