Silver Member Username: LowfrontPost Number: 152 Registered: Jun-05 | from http://www.lalena.com/audio/faq/build/ What are toe spikes for? When the woofer is located near the floor, there will be more bass due to reflection and vibration of the floor. Sometimes, this extra bass is desired, but it is not accurate reproduction of the input signal. The easiest way to eliminate the vibration is to put the speaker on something that will not vibrate at all, like a rock. A more realistic solution is for the speaker to make direct contact with the floor by way of a spike. If a spike is used, then the speaker will rest on the subfloor, not the rug, and the speaker will not be able to vibrate as much. This will eliminate much of the extra bass. |
