    moving speakers

    Hi. I was reading about the difficulty of moving speakers after spikes have been installed.

    If you have carpet there is a furniture skate available at hardware stores. A three and a half inch diameter furniture skate is a good solution. I place a hockey puck between the spike and the furniture skate but you may find this unnecessary. The hockey puck helps, I think. The skate that I use is a "Super Sliders" brand. It is gray with a black slightly hard rubber pad glued to the furniture side of the skate. The cosmetic look of this system is presentable for most rooms. When you desire to move the speakers, handle the speakers down near the floor to push them around.

    If you have a non carpet floor... I would try attaching a piece of appropriately sized carpet to the bottom of the furniture skate. Double sided tape or contact cement should work.

    I suppose there are some floors that might prohibit the use of a furniture skate. The furniture skate will allow you the option to move your speakers if you want to. With the hockey puck you will raise the speaker an inch.

    Carpet the Walls?
    by Rolyasm
    Ready to paint and carpet. I was planning on installing thin wall carpet 2-3 feet from the floor because somewhere I thought I read this was a good idea. In fact, what I remember is carpet the entire front wall, then about 3 feet high on the rest. Does this sound right to anyone? I don't need to...

    Removing carpet from speaker boxes
    by JSG
    I probably already know the answer, but I'll ask anyway...

    Is it possible to remove the carpet from an automotive subwoofer box for home use, without destroying the box. I ask because Parts Express has Goldwood speaker boxes. I was thinking of a Dayton RS315 with bracing, stuffing, and...

    How easy is it to roll the 802DI on carpet?
    by SPACEMANRICK
    I was talking to my wife and trying to figure out good spot to place my new 802DI speakers that "hopefully" will be here sometime in March. My wife doesn't want the new 802DI speakers to take up too much room in our living room and to get in the way of people coming and going.
