Installing The Spikes

 

WARNING! 

Be sure to use two people when installing 
the spikes. Be careful to not pinch your 
fingers under the loudspeaker and make 
sure the loudspeaker does not fall on its 
side.

 

The installation of spikes on the bottom of the unit 
allows you to establish a firm connection between the 
ground and the loudspeaker when placing the 
loudspeaker on uneven surfaces. The bottom of the 
cabinet features three areas for these spikes.

The use of three spikes for support eliminates the need 
for fine adjustments, allowing you to keep the 
loudspeaker firmly in place. See 

 

Choosing Where To 

Place The Loudspeakers

 

 on page 10 for help deciding 

where to place the loudspeaker, and Figure 5 for how 
to install the spikes.

There are screw holes on the aluminum plates located 
on the bottom of the cabinets.

 

Removing The Grille Covers

 

The bass drivers come equipped with grille covers that 
should be removed when the loudspeaker are in use 
(see Figure 6). To remove them, grasp each grille along 
the edges, pull it out, and store it in a safe place in case 
of future use when moving or storing this unit.
