Wow, I thought I was nuts and/or off-the-chart anal until I read some of these responses. Make 4 small blobs for each speaker of roughly the same size...don't measure, don't cut, don't over-analyze. Roll each, with your fingers, into a small ball, making sure it's a little "hot"...they stick better that way. Put each ball in place and put the speaker down. It'll find it's own equilibrium. End of story.
