They are 6mm in diameter. The following is taken from the Dayton Audio website: Using a "spiking" system to rigidly couple a loudspeaker enclosure to a floor improves clarity, stereo imaging, and bass response dramatically. This is especially true in the case of subwoofer systems. These spikes are made of solid brass that has been precision machined and then plated with a long-lasting finish. For mounting in cabinets with walls up to 1 inch thick, barbed insert nuts and 6 mm threaded studs are included. Four cone spikes, four floor discs, four barbed insert nuts, and four threaded studs are included in the set. Before installing the insert nut, a 5/16" hole in the cabinet must be drilled. *Dimensions: x x x x x x x 1" diameter, 9/16" diameter 5/16" tall (not including the disc).
I don't see why a 60-pound speaker wouldn't be acceptable. Because they have such a fine point, it's best to distribute the weight with the included disks.
They include bottom-of-speaker inserts that must be installed. The thread, on the other hand, is standard. I went to my local hardware store and bought some lock nuts that would fit my speakers, which I used with larger speaker stands. I was looking for more assistance, and these were able to provide it. I think it's a 1/4-inch thread.
No, they're too light for a subwoofer weighing in at 200 pounds. However, "Dayton Audio DSS5-" might be worth a shot. They're known as "BK Black Speaker Spikes" and are used to support extremely heavy speakers.

It is simple to extend DSS4s. This is a good product. To use in the front side of my Anthony Gallo 3, I ordered a set to screw in on the bottom part of Dayton Audio DSS4s and make them taller (see pictures). 1s. DSS4s are a combination of a middle cone and DSS2 tips that can be replaced with these taller DSS3s. The only issue I had was that the rods were M6 instead of M8, which Gallos require. So I ordered some M6 to M8 exhaust studs, which I am hoping will work. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and remember that everything is subject to change.
These are what I used for my two Klipsch RF-2000 floorstanders. There are 82 people who will speak. The threading was identical to that of the screws that held my speakers' feet in place, but the depth was incorrect. The threading on the inserts was also identical to the threading on the inserts that were already in the speakers, which was convenient. The spikes were simply screwed in after unscrewing the inserts with a hex wrench. br>br>These spikes gave my speakers a much more stable footing on thicker carpet, and they were long enough to keep the speaker bottoms from making direct contact with the carpet. The sound quality improved slightly, especially in the low end.
These are, without a doubt, the best spokes I've ever used. The stock spikes that came with my Mordaunt Short 502 speakers barely lift the speakers above the carpet. These, on the other hand, are so meaty and tall that they not only look great, but they're also a lot more useful.
These were purchased for a custom project. My JBL ES20 speakers are on stands that I built myself. I needed spikes because I was using these speakers on carpet and wanted to get the best bass response possible. br>br>I went with the Dayton spikes because of their good reputation and the fact that they came with everything I needed for my setup. I was surprised by the price, but since they are a specialty item, I expected it. Having used them for about two weeks, I've noticed a significant improvement over not using spikes, but I don't believe the average consumer would notice. Overall, I'd buy them again, but I'd look for a better deal.
My B grade is affected by these spikes. The bass on the W speakers is tighter, deeper, and less "boomy. " On carpet, these spikes are fantastic.
The spikes are nice and sharp. I expected it to be a little bigger based on the photos. The adhesive on foam pads is poor; if you move a piece of heavy equipment, they simply fall off and are rendered useless.
On two front tower speakers, they were used. Each of them is about 60 pounds. On the carpet, they weren't very stable. The studs went all the way through to the concrete floor and are now stable, but they sound fantastic! If you're looking for a unique way to.
I really like how it came out. Although it appears to be very expensive, installation was not simple.
