    I d e Section 4.1—Spiking The WATT/Puppy Your Dealer is trained in the ar t and science of the Wilson Audio Setup Procedure (WASP) outlined in Sec tion 1. Before the Spike & Diode assemblies are attached to the bottom of The WAT T/Puppy, the setup and S et- Scre w fine tuning of your loudspeaker should be completed.
  • Page 31 Note: This is a t wo person job. Do not attempt this by yourself. The WAT T/Puppy is heav y and may seriously injure someone if tipped over. An assistant should stand to the rear of The WAT T/ Puppy to steady it. Using the Wilson Audio Jack is recommended and simplifies this process. Installation Procedure Take care to mark the exact location of The WAT T/Puppys with masking tape to en- sure the speakers can be returned to their exact setup position.

    If previously removed, re -install the WAT T atop the Puppy. Section 4.2—Leveling The WATT/Puppy The WAT T/Puppy comes equipped with a built-in bubble level found on the top of the Puppy. Look at that bubble level and determine if The WAT T/Puppy is level or which side of the enclosure is lower than the rest making the enclosure uneven.
