If installing on thick carpet, remove the wheels to allow the speaker to rest solely on the spikes.3. Spike Cups: If your speaker is positioned on a hard floor, leave the spike cups in place to protect the flooring. If your speaker is on carpet, remove the four spike cups, which are held magnetically.4. Lowering the Spikes: Directly above each spike/spike cup, you will feel a three-pronged locking nut. Spin the locking nut to lower the spike/spike cup towards the floor. If the locking nut is too tight to turn, use the supplied metal bar to release it.5. Adjusting the Height: As the spike/spike cup meets the floor, continue to turn the locking nut, lifting the speaker off its wheels. Repeat this process with all four spikes/spike cups and adjust the height to ensure the speaker rests firmly without rocking.6. Locking the Spikes: Insert the metal bar into one of the four holes in the spikes to stop them from turning. Rotate the locking nut to release it, remove the metal bar, and spin the locking nut to lock it in place. Repeat this for each spike.By following these steps, you can properly position and install the Bowers & Wilkins 800 D3 speaker for optimal performance.
