Simply place the tile wherever you want to locate your speaker. Then gently set the speaker on top of the tile. This also has an added benefit of improving the sound quality from your speakers all round. My base response improved dramatically.
For those people with carpeted floors, I recommend placing a couple of paving slabs under each speaker. A friend of mine done this a couple of years ago and she couldn't believe the dramatic difference it made to the sound of her TDL speakers.
Ceramic tiles and paving slabs are cheep enough. Experiment. You may find that it works for you too.
