Rewster Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I know this may be a simple answer, but I wanted to find carpet spikes for my RF82's and wonder first if I needed special ones or would any carpet spike work and two should I get them online or somewhere local. I live in L.A., CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Youthman Posted July 31, 2012 Moderators Share Posted July 31, 2012 IMO, any carpet spikes will do as long as they have the right size thread. Did you call Klipsch Parts? They might still have them in stock. It is my understanding that the purpose of spikes is to prevent the speaker from moving when the bass hits. If the speaker moves when the bass hits, it "could" effect the sound. My guess is you would never be able to hear the difference between having the spikes on and having them off. Others are welcome to chime in on their thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewster Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 What you say makes a lot of sense the reason I wanted them was I noticed that the speakers rocked a little when I pushed them and I thought the carpet might be a little to thick and the spikes would go thru the carpet and stabilize them and if they did not cost much not really a loss. I will contact Klipsch parts like you suggested and see what they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rewster Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 I contacted Klipsch and they responded and will send me a couple of pair of new feet for free, I am assuming that this includes the spikes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
