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.
