Drilling holes under RP-600M 1

[KHONGOR BATTULGA]

I bought a pair of Monolith speaker stands and it came with some rubber tips to stick on the stand. These however were not that great at stopping the speaker from sliding off so I was wondering if I could drill four holes around the center of the bottom of my RP-600M (1st generation).

Welcome! Let's see what the forum thinks @KHONGOR BATTULGABATTULGA...

Why not put something more grippy on top of the stand. This way nothing permanent will happen to your speakers. No personal experience but what I would try first.

@KHONGOR BATTULGABATTULGA... Maybe some decent velcro may do the job.

Enough in the right spot.

I use Velcro! Don’t put extra holes in your speakers.

Since they are ported, you will not damage the sound, but surely there is a better way than damaging the finish, even if on the bottom.

Try Bostik Blu Tack, Loctite Mounting Putty, or DAP Blue Stik instead. For something perhaps even tackier,

try what we call in the antenna industry "vapor wrap". Search for it from manufacturers such as CommScope,

Decibel Products, or DB Spectra. Last suggestion; try an artist's kneaded eraser, available at most art supply stores.

I bought Bostik Blu Tack double sided tape circles and they did a pretty good job at sticking my speakers into place. Thanks for the feedback!

I'm glad I didn't, these double sided tape circles worked like a charm!

While the OP already found a solution, I just thought of another one.

 

There's non-adhesive shelf liner which is usually a rubber like mat that can be cut to dimension.

 

Works great under space rugs/mats that lie on slippery floors. I use one on my futon to keep the

mattress from sliding.

 

Should be available at  most hardware and home stores.
