    802D on Ceramic Tile Floor?

    My new 802D's will arrive shortly, being shipped from MA. How should I set them up on a slightly uneven ceramic tile floor?

    The casters would likely rock in most positions.

    The spikes sitting on small discs maybe an option.

    What have you folks done with heavy B&W's.

    Thanks, JohnnyB

    JohnnyB,

    The large spikes that can be ordered with the 802D's are reversible. They have spikes on one side, and are rubbery and rounded on the other.
    This should give you an option. The spikes are very good, so using them with floor discs is another option. One other thing I have heard of is go make granite/marble bases and put the spiked 802D's on these. This definitely costs more money, but I've seen nice results.


    Hope this helps.

      Thanks for the info. The rubbery end opposite the spike sounds like the best way to proceed.

      Would someone post a photo of this arrangement please?

      Thanks, JohnnyB

            I've got 803D and use felt stick-on pads under them on ceramic tile. They are movable with a little effort, but also good to the floors - no rubber marks, etc.

              Ceramic tile stiffening cabinet walls
              by joecarrow
              Hi Guys,

              I've been reading about different cabinet construction techniques, and I came up with something that might be of interest around here. I'm not the first person to come up with this, but I would like to bring up the idea of ceramic floor tile as a stiffening liner in cabinets....

              OK next question. Accoustics: What are some of the tips and tricks to get better sound out of a room that has concrete/ceramic tile flooring? is there something to put down besides carpet or something?

              Subwoofer Spikes?
              by Club1820
              Hello. When talking to one of my friends regarding my subwoofer setup - he suggested that I put a piece of carpet under my subwoofer (it sits on ceramic tile floor) and install spikes to elevate it a little bit. He said that this would improve my bass output.

              What do you guys think?...

              Speakers on Tile Floor?
              by FlashJim
              How is tile floor handled as far as speakers go? Spikes with the washer looking feet?

              I'll have a sealed 15" sub as well as RS TMWW mains. Maybe a thin rubber mat under the sub so it doesn't walk?
