    Anyone ever use spikes with their Subs

    in Home Theater

    Yes, I would not put spikes on until speaker placement is final. Moving 7's with spikes can be very hazardous. I had gold aftermarket spikes on the 7's until I broke one of the plastic feet when moving the speaker. When I called to order a new foot, I also ordered threaded spiked feet that Klipsch offers. They sells for $0.37 a piece (1-800-554-7724). They are black and rather small, but for $0.37 a piece I figured I could not go wrong. That's what allowed me to move my current spikes to the sub.

    I do not know the thread size for sure (I think it is a 1/4-20), but I do know that the thread size of the RSW 15 is the same size thread of the feet of the RF-7's. I had my 7's spiked, but after seeing this thread I took the spikes off the 7's and tried them on the sub. They fit perfectly. I have not had a chance to listen to it yet to hear any differences yet, but I do know that the threads are the same size.

    word of warning when moving rf-7's

    While trying to move one of my rf-7's last night I tried to pick up the speaker while putting my left hand on the top of the speaker, near the inside of the horn, tilted the speaker forward, then put my left hand inside the upermost baffle in back. When I lifted up, the baffle slipped out of the cabinet. While there was no actual damage to my cabinet, it certainly could have been a catastrophe. Just a word of caution.
