Exile clamps not fitting my tower.

[deelan_]

We installed my exile tower speakers today and the clamp all the way down with the smaller screws were still loose. I even wrapped a spongy material around it with no luck.
Anybody have this problem?

Contact Brian @ Exile, you have the same tower as I (non-HD). They have smaller clamps that will work like a charm.

I suggest putting some type of rubber material in between regardless of clamp size. Prevent scratching the powder coat.

What suggestion do you have for that? I would like to do the same but have yet to be able to find a pliable rubber sheeting material

Most rubber sheet material gets a bit slimy in the hot sun and actually promotes slippage rather than stopping it.
For any speaker that has the wire concealed through the collar, slippage (vertical speaker rotation) can cause damage by tearing the wire away from the fine pins that the wire is soldered to.
Try a 'silicone rubber' sheet. It doesn't seam to be affected by the heat. You can usually find this at a good old fashion hardware store.

Thanks for the info David.

It should also be mentioned that the thin pliable rubber sheet material is a consideration for protecting the tower finish, but in no way should be considered a substitute for changing to the correct collar size as recommended above.

I mounted 2 pairs of sxt9 today and used 1/8" rubber roofing to protect the tower and cut down any vibration.
