Hi, Other folks may have some different ideas but here is what works best for me. I place the speakers as close to a wall and at ground level as I can. The wall and ground will cut down the volume the speakers have to work into. This makes a big difference in the bass sound level. Other than that not too much seems to matter. You will also find that generally the amount of power you need to get the sound level you want to be much higher than when inside the building. The lack of confinement is the reason. Be aware that because of the greater power your amp may not be up to the job and distort or if you have speakers that can't handle the power you can damage them. If you hear any sort of distortion then you had best cut the volume down.

Good Listening
Bruce
