jjpsych Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 Hi, New poster here. I have a pair of RF-3's and currently have the stock spikes threaded into the outriggers. I am thinking about taking the outriggers off and replacing them with some larger "cone-type" spikes. (similar to those in Parts Express) My question is what is the thread size for the screw that holds the outriggers to the speaker cabinet? (obviously, I want a set of spikes that match these threads) Thanks, Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximilian Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 You can measure the thread on the existing spike. Measure the diameter of the shank and the number of threads per inch. Thread size (in the US) is given by these dimensions, for instance a 1/4-16 bolt is 1/4 inches in diameter with 16 threads per inch. A related question. I just got some RF-3's also. There is not enough space between my entertainment center and the wall for the outriggers. Is there any problem with removing them and putting the carpet spikes in the threaded hole where the outriggers were attached (they fit)? There is no chance of the speakers tipping over.

jjpsych Posted August 29, 2002 Author Share Posted August 29, 2002 The smaller spikes that thread into the outriggers are too small to thread into the hole that the outrigger mounting bolt threads into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximilian Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 Maybe Klipsch changed them. I just got my RF-3's Tuesday and the spikes fit perfectly. Can't wait to get things hooked up listen to my new system.

Guest BobG Posted August 29, 2002 Share Posted August 29, 2002 The spikes do fit the receptors in the bottom of the speaker cabinet. The thread is 1/4 20, a very common size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
