Section 3.1 – Spiking the Sasha DAW

Your dealer is trained in the art and science of the Wilson Audio Setup 

Procedure ( WASP) outlined in Section 1.2.  Before the spike/diode assemblies 

are attached to the bottom of Sasha DAW, the set up and fine tuning of your 

loudspeaker should be completed.  Before spiking Sasha DAW, use masking tape 

to carefully mark their location.   

Woofer Module Spikes

  Included with Sasha DAW are two sets of Woofer Module spikes, which 

provide acoustical isolation as well as optimal height placement for your speak-

ers.  There are two ways of assembling the spikes (with or without the diode). 

Your choice will depend on your listening room and personal tastes.   

Spike/Diode Assembly

1.  Locate the spike assembly.  On the spike, move the nut to 

about two threads from the point.  This will allow for greater 
movement when leveling the loudspeaker system.

2.  Screw the spikes into the diode until the nut is against the di-

ode.  Be careful that the nut does not turn while inserting and 

threading spikes into the diode. 

 

Note:  Do not tighten these assembled spikes.  You will need to unscrew 

A u t h e n t i c   E x c e l l e n c e ™

them when you level the Sasha DAW. This will ensure that if for any reason 
you have to remove Sasha DAW spikes, you will be able to withdraw the set 
screw using the supplied Allen wrench.   

3.  Screw the all-thread set screw into the diode until it meets the 

spike for your system. Make sure the allen head portion of the 
all-thread faces towared the spike.   

4.  Assemble the rest of the spikes/diode.

Spike Installation Procedure

5.  Remove the Upper Module from the Woofer Module. 

6.  Carefully lay the Woofer Module on its side. 

7.  Insert the spike/diode assemblies into the four holes located 

on the bottom of each Woofer Module. Tighten until the top 
surface of the Woofer Module Spike (or spacer) touches the 
bottom surface of the “X” material plate. 

Note: The spike receptacles are tapped directly into the “X” material 
plate on the bottom of the Woofer Module. Be very careful NOT TO CROSS 
THREAD the spikes.
