Speaker Outriggers - Sources - What would/do you use?

Hello all,

I'm currently looking for some speaker/crossover enclosure outriggers and I have researched into a sprinkling here and there of different options. What I'd like to ask of you is your knowledge of any suppliers or companies that offer speaker outriggers for a rather heavy speaker [estimated 160-170 lbs. each] and a pair of external crossover enclosures that will weigh anywhere between 40-60 pounds each. I've dwindled around the thought that I might go custom with these but it looks like some are offered at a price point to where I could concentrate my valuable time on other things.

What do you use for outriggers?
Were they custom built?
How well does the outrigger clamp to the speaker base?
Can you adjust the outrigger spikes from the top, instead of leaning the speaker to adjust them?

This thread is an open discussion about all things outrigger. If you have a thought, insight, observations or something that you have encountered with regards to outriggers on a speaker, please feel free to chime in with your negative or positive experiences/observations. These outriggers will ultimately be placed on a pair of Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Signature Series loudspeakers and a custom crossover enclosure. Any advice, manufactures, links or comments are welcome.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you have a good day.

Was there a pun intended with that? Ohhhhhh, If you only knew. I'm having a blast and the current plans have FAR exceeded what was originally slated. When I have some time, I'll update the other thread and fill you all in on what's going on.

Thanks Jack and Mark for chiming in. I will be researching your suggestions tonight, Jack. I appreciate your suggestions. Mark, I did read the thread you had made about your experiences with the ones you had ordered for IIRC, a little over $200 or something like that. I do have threaded inserts on my speakers. I believe that they are currently 1/4-20 but at this point in the game, I wouldn't doubt myself making custom bases for the speakers as well. I'm currently in discussions with a race shop [of all things] in making me a custom set of outriggers for both the speakers and the crossover enclosures and it's looking good so far but I'm still exploring my options and different design techniques at this point.

Do tell.

Never mind. We are going completely custom with regards to this after further review. Thanks for looking and I do appreciate the time you guys took to respond. Much appreciated.
