Where is the best place to position the subwoofer?
Experiment with placement. Corners often provide the most bass, but may also increase distortion. Try placing it along a wall or near your listening position.

Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior. Avoid using any liquids or harsh cleaning agents.
