A fix for using metal spikes
Hey Wooch those metal inverted cones work really great IMO. My Pinnacle speakers have them installed and I really like the way they isolate the speaker from the floor.
I too have wooden floors and thought ..... dang I can't just sit these things on that floor, I won't like what they do to the floor, and I certainly won't like what my wife does to me when she sees that ......
So, here's your fix, place a penny on the floor under each one of them .... no problem :-))
Enjoy !

Just sitting a subwoofer on a floor with nothing to cushion and/or level it out could definitely cause some excess vibration or rattling, but it doesn't take much to firmly anchor the sub to floor since most of them are pretty heavy already. As for rubber feet, that's exactly what I use with my subwoofer and they work just fine. Turn them upside down to minimize the contact area with the floor, and the weight of the sub is enough to compress the feet and make a solid connection to the floor. I got mine at a local hardware store -- $2 for a set of four, and I use them with my speaker stands as well. Metal cones or spikes would work just as well or maybe better, but my sub is sitting on a hardwood floor and any pointy metal objects will put dents in it.
