Installation of our outriggers are simple. If you already have inserts installed in your speakers then please skip to step 4. Please note, most speakers today come with inserts already installed, so no need to drill.

We suggest installing an insert into a piece of scrap wood before installing the inserts into your speakers. This gives you the feel for what to look for. Because the insert is a screw in type you will be able to unscrew and use again with your project.

1. Layout and pre-drill the locations for your spikes on the bottom of your speakers to an approx depth of .65”. I use a 1/8” drill bit for this.

2. Using a 9mm drill (3/8” will work) drill the pre-drilled holes to a depth of at least .65”.

3. Place the insert into the opening of the hole and screw insert into hole using a M6 or 7/32 Allen wrench. Screw so that insert is flush with bottom of speaker.
4. Locate (2) outriggers per speaker with the inserts showing in center of mounting slots. Use (1) washer and (1) bolt per mounting insert. Align outrigger so that there is an even distance side to side. Do not over tighten!! Bolt should be snug and outrigger flush to bottom of speaker. Over tightening can cause insert to loosen from speaker.

Note: The tip of the spikes are designed so that different lengths can be use, hence the different 1.50" and 2.10" lengths. Once you are satisfied with the tip length we suggest using a thread locker or super glue to keep the tip secure in the base cone. This will keep the tip from coming loose through adjustments made.

Placing and moving of speakers with outriggers installed:

As you would expect, you must take care when moving the speakers with outriggers mounted. In no way should you ever “walk” the speaker be tipping back and allowing all the weight of the speaker to rest on one side of the outrigger at a time. In order to move the speaker please have someone assist you in lifting the speaker and for no reason slide. Reason; speaker manufactures inserts (where the outriggers mount) are not always robust enough to support the weight of the speaker at and angle. Too much weight loaded on one insert may create enough torque to pull the insert from the base of speaker.
