Parts Express Speaker Cabinet 3/8 Toe Spike Set (2 Packs of 4)

Worked as described. Installed them on my Infinity subwoofer. This is an inexpensive sub so cabinet is particle board. Care must be taken to not strip out. Threads were a bit loose as other reviews describe but overall it wasn’t a problem.

These did the job on my secondary system with PSB speakers. I bought the towers used on Craigslist and the guy did not have the spikes, so I ordered these (mainly because of cost). They are 1/4" 20 threads and pretty long. they worked fine. I would not use these on a hi-end speaker however.

Worked great! Same diameter as the original so easy fit. Had to shake the spike back and worth if the threads stuck while screwing them in to continue to thread them. Not a big deal. Like how they are longer and pointier spikes then the originals. Get your speakers level and point those tweeters at ear level for perfect sound!

I wish it was possible to give zero, or negative stars. These spike feet are the worst quality product I have purchased in a long time. I purchased two packages, for two speaker stands. In the first package, 3 of the nuts and inserts were properly threaded and went together fine. The 4th insert was not properly threaded, and not of the threaded spikes would go into in very far. I spent a LOT of time getting the threaded chased in that one insert so it would somewhat work. In the second package not a single one of the inserts that go into the wood was threaded properly. The nuts would go completely up and down the threaded spikes, but none of them would screw into the inserts, not one. I wasted a lot of time, and damaged the paint on all four spikes by the time I was able to get the spikes to thread into the inserts, and that was only by using a pair of pliers. Obviously the quality control wherever these are made is horrible or non existent. I recommend everyone find different spike feet from a different source. I have ordered directly from Parts Express in the past, but after this experience I may never order any of their products again.

The threads on the spikes fit the lock nut, but not the threaded insert. I had to run each spike through a 1/4-20 threading die to get the threads to fit the insert. I also ran a tap through each of the inserts. In the end, all the extra work removed the finish (paint?) off the threads, and off some parts of the pointed end. It took over an hour to figure out what was wrong with the fit and run each spike through the die and a tap through each insert. I wondered how many people would put this much work into fitting something that shouldn’t require this much time and effort. I also wonder, now, if I had spent a little more money, whether the quality would have been better and I could have focused on installing the spike instead of fixing them.

Nothing fancy, just good quality spikes and threaded inserts with locknuts. Whn properly installed, they work perfectly.

Good luck with these, I took a chance for the price and tried threading the spikes into the mounts prior to any drilling. Well the QC on the threads for the first 4 were P poor, couldn't set any feet by hand only threaded about a turn each then dead stop. It is beyond easy to pre thread at factory but that would mean rejecting about 75+% im guessing. Bottom line don't bother, these have already been put back in package set for return.

I used the spikes for my speakers. They worked perfectly, easy to install. The price was also great. Best I had found, would recommend this product.

The previous reviews were correct, these are in fact complete junk. Running a 1/4-20 die over the treads helped significantly, and after that... they are STILL junk. Good luck finding a better quality equivalent though. I tried extensively and came up empty, so these will have to do :(.
