Section 2�1—Assembling TuneTot
Installing the Spikes
TuneTot uses two types of spikes, the AA-sized fixed spike, and the Adjust-
able spike, which incorporates a locking nut. These two sets of spikes together
form the time-domain and leveling system for TuneTot.
1. There are four threaded receptacles located on the bottom
of TuneTot. It is shipped with threaded plugs that maintain a
gas-tights seal if the spikes are not installed. Remove the four
bolts.
2. Locate the two sets of spikes. These can be found in the tool
box. Remove all eight spikes. Stage two AAs and two Adjust-
able spikes for each TuneTot.
3. With the help of an assistant, measure your ear (using the ear
canal as the reference point) height from the floor. Then mea-
sure the distance from the floor to the top of TuneTot’s woofer
driver. The purpose of these measurements is to determine the
overall relationship of the listener to TuneTot.
4. If the distance from the listener’s ear to the floor is greater
than the distance of TuneTot to the floor (the listener is gen-
erally higher than TuneTot), then install the adjustable spikes
into the front two TuneTot spike receptacles, and the two AA

spikes into rear two receptacles.
5. If the distance from the listener’s ear to the floor is less than
the distance from the floor to TuneTot (the listener is posi-
tioned below TuneTot), then install the adjustable spikes into
the rear of TuneTot’s two receptacles, and the two AA spikes
into the front two.
6. At this point, leave the nuts on the Adjustable spike loose
enough to allow the spike to be adjusted freely by hand.
Section 2�2—Refining the Position Of TuneTot
Finding the Correct Position
TuneTot benefits from fine tuning both side-to-side as well as front-to-back
tuning, within the constraints and limits of the shelf.
TuneTots should be “toed-in” directly toward the listener, such that, from
the seated position, the listener sees only a small portion of the inside of each
cabinet.
Note: Please note that TuneTot’s spikes are somewhat sharp. Wilson sup-
plies spike pads that optionally sit beneath the spike if there is a need to
protect the surface below.
