Free speaker tweak that's a must do

Erikminer,Its common knowledge across any industry using fasteners of most any type that over torquing will cause faster to loosen. If there loose already fine but just to tighten because its what I do shows a misunderstanding of how bolts screws etc work. And that's not about being a audiophile. Its about basic understanding of how things work.

Keep in mind you can over torqued them and they will just loosen again. I suggest thread locking compound if loosening on you. And the brass screw deal. The magnetic force is very very small and far to far away to have any effect on transducer. But if you feel this maters have at it just don't snap a fastener brass isn't so strong.

I never ever had a issue with it. And I've owned 100s of loudspeakers. Built many more. Most can and do play at SPL Polks could never approach. I do know once you've over torqued a fastener your going to have it loosen up and this is what Polk432 is probably experiencing.

If screws are loose how is repairing by tightening fasteners considered a tweak? Wood fibers act differantly then metal you compress them they will not spring back to hold fastener and they will lossen with time,most loudspeakers with threads use inserts tighten into wood. Lug nuts are very large fasteners and if you read my post I mention most fasteners not all you stretch them and they can snap but it could mean death if they fail so its factored into lugs that idiots may over tighten. In small fasteners like loudspeakers use tightening up fasteners that are not loose will make them just loosen in the future or if massively over tighten then they may snap..
