-
Location That Is Appropriate:

Ventilation:
Make sure the speakers have sufficient ventilation and that they are not placed too closely to any walls or other objects that could potentially restrict the passage of air. Overheating can be avoided and the life of the components can be extended by ensuring there is adequate ventilation. -

It’s possible that some speakers go through what’s called a “break-in period,” in which their performance gradually gets better over time. Be sure to stick to the manufacturer’s guidelines on the breaking-in process. -
The prevention of moisture absorption:
It is important to keep the speakers free from any liquids, including water and other liquids, as exposure to moisture can cause the internal components to deteriorate and create potential electrical risks. -
Cleaning:
Regularly using a gentle, dry cloth to wipe off the speaker cabinets and grilles is recommended. Avoid using any harsh chemicals or anything that are abrasive, since doing so could potentially ruin the polish. -
Transportation:
If you need to transport the speakers, make sure to use appropriate packaging and protective covers so that they don’t sustain any damage while they’re in transit. -

If you are going to use speaker wires, you need to make sure they are routed in a safe manner and away from areas where people can trip over them. -

If you are using the speakers and notice that they are growing excessively hot while they are being used, you should immediately switch them off and wait for them to cool down before using them again. -
Maintenance and Adjustments:
