bolting speakers to floor?


i have a pair of gershman speakers, that are very top heavy (on thick carpet over plywood). i live in earthquake country. i've tried several spike set-ups and they still seem unstable. how will it affect the sound to drill through the base and bolt them directly to the subfloor?

Blueswan and Jctubes are correct. Bolting your speakers to the floor may keep them from hitting you in the head during an earthquake but will screw up the sound the other 99.95 of the time. Sistrum platforms will transfer at a high speed, all extranous noise to ground. If properly sized your speakers will remain stable resting upon Sistrum Platforms and will at the same time become more musical.
