cable must be run from your subwoofer amplifier to the proposed subwoofer location. Make certain that there are no obstructions in the planned location or along the proposed wiring location before proceeding. Many states and municipalities have specific notification requirements before digging. Make sure to check with your local building authorities as required prior to digging.

Keep in mind when choosing a location that low frequency sounds will permeate the entire area which means that the subwoofer does not need to be “aimed” or pointed in any particular direction.

The subwoofer is made of heavy duty uPVC, designed for many years of rugged outdoor use and will withstand occasional hits from common handheld landscape tools, but can be damaged by lawn mowers or other motorized equipment. Placing the subwoofer where it is not likely to be struck by such equipment will help ensure years of listening enjoyment. This can be easily done by careful placement of landscaping features around the bass port tube.

Also, please be aware that you can control the bass output by your placement location. This is called the boundary effect. You will get more bass response by mounting the GSS10 near a wall or other flat surface. You can increase the bass output even more by mounting the GSS10 in a corner location. This kind of placement gives the speaker two boundaries, further reinforcing the bass sounds. Of course, mounting the subwoofer further away from any other boundaries will minimize this effect. Landscaping walls or other structures could be utilized for this purpose. A further consideration is that the closer the subwoofer is placed to the home, the more chance of unwanted vibration entering the home when the subwoofer is played at large volumes.

Choose the location carefully prior to digging any holes or running any wires. Once the location has been chosen and the hole has been prepared, place the
