Materials Required

• 

8 Assembled Wilson Audio Acoustic Diodes

• 

Swivel Caster Wrench

• 

Masking Tape

Note: Be very careful not to cross-thread the spikes. The base of the Alexia V is made of “X” ma-
terial and can be cross-threaded if spikes are installed at an angle. 

Note: This is a two person job. Do not attempt this by yourself. The Alexia V is heavy and may 
seriously injure someone if tipped over.

Note: An assistant should stand to the rear of the Alexia V to steady it.

 

Installation Procedure

1.  Take care to mark the exact location of the Alexia Vs with masking tape to ensure the 

speakers can be returned to their exact set up position.

2.  If leaning the Alexia V to the side safely is not an option, remove the Upper Array 

from the Woofer Module. Lay a furniture pad or soft blanket adjacent to the Woofer 
Module to protect the paint. Carefully lay the Woofer Module on its side. 

3.  Using the caster wrench, remove the casters.

4.  Insert the Acoustic Diode assemblies into the four holes located on the bottom of 

each Woofer Module. Tighten until the top surface of the Acoustic Diode touches 
the bottom surface of the “X” material plate on the bottom of the Woofer Enclosure. 

Hand tighten only!
