Swanand,

My understanding is that the spikes are for carpeting, otherwise use the standard feet. Coupling to the floor is important to the sound / effectiveness of the sub. This is the reason for the spikes on carpet - to penetrate the carpet/padding and contact the floor.

I have a Q150E and while I love the sub, the one annoyance I have is that it is so small and light that it can 'walk' to a spot where the feet don't all touch on the slightly uneven floor - and then it makes vibrating noises.

I had also thought about some kind of rubber 'grip' for the feet and also the granite slab. Just haven't done it.

Would be interested in other 'fixes' people have done in this regard.
