• To find out which spike to lower,

grasp the Alexandria channel and
rock it back and forth. This will
identify the spike that is out of
level from the other three.

• Place a level on the front to back

oriented axis. If it is level, then
your Alexandrias are level. If the
bubble shows that the speaker is
leaning toward the front of the
room, you will have to lengthen the
front spikes down toward the floor.
If the bubble shows that the speak-
er is leaning toward the back of the
room (behind the loudspeakers),
you will have to lengthen the rear
spikes down toward the floor.

Section 4.8—Expansion Spikes

Place one end of the expansion spike sub-

assemblies into the last hole of the spike track.

Expand the sub-assembly until the upper end

comes into contact with the dimple in the mid-

dle of the brass spike pad found on the under-

side of the wing braces. Use box end wrenches (included) to snug the expansion spikes

securely (see Figure 22).

Section 4.9—Installing the Back Covers

Attach the cover over the resistor plate. The cover attaches using the same stainless

steel pin system as the grills (see Figure 23).
