Ventilation:

The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilaton. For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings: or placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.

Check the floor:

Always check the floor for stability before you set up the speaker cabinet. Vibrating floors (e.g. elements/components on the stage) do not provide reliable support for speaker stacks. So, always set up your speakers on a solid and even support.

Make sure that speaker cabinets are set up properly: Set up your speaker cabinet at a distance to dance floors or other audience areas, so as to avoid that somebody can knock over a speaker stack.
