Installation Guidelines
Bose AMS subwoofers include threaded inserts to accommodate suspension methods as described in this document.
Unsafe overhead suspension of any heavy load can result in serious injury or death and property damage. It is the
installer's responsibility to evaluate the reliability of any suspension method used for their application. Only professional
installers with the knowledge of proper hardware and safe suspension techniques should attempt to install any
loudspeaker or subwoofer overhead.
If you are using a custom-designed suspension system, have a licensed professional engineer review the design and
planned method of attachment to the building structure for structural integrity and safety in the intended application.
Choose fasteners that are consistent with all local building codes and requirements to support the weight of the
subwoofer.
• Use only fasteners/hardware of Class 8.8 or greater.
• Do not use unmarked machine fasteners for mounting system assemblies as there is no way to determine their
physical properties.
• Use only M10 fasteners for the M10 threaded inserts on the subwoofer. Although SAE 3/8"–16 fasteners are similar, they
are not interchangeable with M10 fasteners.
• Do not over-tighten fasteners. Doing so may irreparably damage the cabinet and create an unsafe assembly.
• Make sure fasteners are long enough to engage at least 8 threads of the attachment point. Using a fastener that is
engaged with fewer than 8 threads will result in inadequate support of the subwoofer, which may strip the threads
and create an unsafe assembly.
• Do not alter or re-thread the threaded attachment points to accommodate any other thread size or type. Doing so
will compromise the safety of the installation and permanently damage the subwoofer.
• For a vibration-resistant assembly, use a locking compound intended for hand disassembly (such as Loctite® 242®).
Do not use the subwoofer handles to suspend the subwoofer.
Do not suspend additional loudspeakers or other items from the Bose AMS subwoofer.
Suspension
WARNING: To ensure safe product installation and usage, it is the installer's responsibility to refer to the previous
Installation Guidelines section and the user documentation of all mounting components before installing the
product.
To suspend the subwoofer from the ceiling, attach M10 threaded eye bolts to the four M10 threaded attachment points on
the top or side panel of the subwoofer. Use only load-rated eye bolts intended for lifting (per ASME B30.26).
If you are using a custom-designed suspension system or hardware, a licensed professional engineer must review the
design and fabrication. Obtain all suspension system components from reputable manufacturers.
