I’m partial to the Amontillado.
I have a family of crows that hang out on my deck. I feed them pecans.

They look a bit like a Western Rook.
Do you feed them by hand?

Not Western Rooks - they don’t have the light colored bill. We haven’t gotten to feeding by hand. They watch for me through the kitchen window and start vocalizing when they see me. I put the pecans on top of the fence. One of them will fly down as soon as I step away and two of them will let we walk by within about 4 feet.

They are cautious and smart. Pecans are quite the treat.
Bought big mapleshade platforms for my REL S/510s. They each sit on 3 iso-puck 76 feet. Bass is much tighter, more defined and centered. I like my subs on platforms very much. Up sonner, rather than later, another pair to sit on top of these: maybe in a couple months.

Great idea and looks very “neat”…
Curious as to why you (apparently) chose to use three IsoAcoustic footers instead of four…
Cheers.

Sub is 70lbs, maple platform is 30lbs, each iso-puck is rated for 40lbs. When I stack subs I’ll need 5 per sub (already ordered the extra iso-pucks).

What are you missing from the pair of S/510 that makes you invest into a second pair to stack them, after a couple of months?
That’s not rel’s advice
I found that if you have enough sub power to fill the room that you don’t need to follow Rels advice all the time. When I had a pair of Rel Carbon subs with my Maggie’s it sounded much better lifting them off the floor with ASC Sub Traps. Room nodes are in 3 dimensions. In many if not most mid to small size rooms lifting a pair subs off the floor will help probably improve node issues. The biggest problem is the WAF issues.

More. I find subs just fill the room and make everything better. Having 4 was always my goal.

Nice @amsco15!!
Lots of benefits and if you’ve never tried more than 2, you won’t know. Like @minnesotafats said, bass is in 3 dimensions, not just on the floor. Co-location gives 3db more output, so you can turn down the level of the subs to reduce cone excursion, hence lower distortion. You can tune the crossover individually to each sub for the room nodes. I also put a steel plate on the bottom of my sub stacks as I’m on carpet. It pays to experiment a little.

Yeah, women and subwoofers, how do I put this nicely: complicated?!

It’s all tweak stuff. Loving all of the electronics and transducers in my system.

You could pop out for a cappuccino and hope you’ve forgotten about it by the time you get back. Or for the price of the QSA fuse you could get one of these and make your own cappuccinos.
Here in the UK all plugs are fused. I always understood it was a safety system, in case of excessive current draw, the plug fuse will blow to avoid the power cable overheating and catching fire. They come with fuses that cost $3 for 10 of them. My conditioner has overcurrent protection on each outlet so no fuses, but the US version is fused. Fuses seem to be a Yes/No type of thing, either the current flows or it blows.
