Boston Acoustics GS112 - Manual (Page 2)

Congratulations!
You have purchased the highest quality subwoofer the industry has to offer. Installed
correctly, Boston Acoustics subwoofer systems will deliver unprecedented performance
for many years to come.
WARNING: This manual explains only the basic installation of the subwoofer system—not the tech-
niques required to perform the installation. If you do not have the experience that these procedures
require, we strongly suggest you consult your Boston Acoustics dealer about professional installation.
Placement
The placement of the enclosure is one of the most important factors concerning installation. As each
vehicle’s interior acoustics is different, experimentation is the key to optimizing performance.
Installation in a sedan
Provide as clear a path as possible by venting through a folded down armrest, or venting through the
rear deck. Keep any restrictive material such as wood, hard plastic or metal from directly blocking the
driver or radiator. If installing near the trunk lid, check for clearance with the trunk opened and closed.
Check for the position of the trunk springs or torsion bars as their position changes with the position
of the trunk lid.
Installation in a hatchback or sport utility vehicle
Typically, installing subwoofer enclosures in a rear corner yields the maximum output. However, every
vehicle is different, so experimentation is the key to optimum performance.
WARNING: Make sure the enclosure is securely mounted in such a way as to not shift or fly forward in
the event of an accident or sudden stop. If you are unsure of how to secure the enclosure, we strongly
recommend you consult your Boston Acoustics dealer about professional installation.
