• Regardless of where you place your

speakers, make sure they cannot fall and

cause injuries. See "Accessories" on

page 8.

• Bose 151

speakers are not magnetically

shielded. Keep them at least 9 inches

(23 cm) from any video screen or

monitor.

Note: Magnets in the speakers will affect a

boat compass. Consider this in choosing a

speaker location, or make sure to correct for

this deviation.

• On a boat, you can surface mount the

speakers or mount them flush to the

bulkhead. (Refer to "Accessories" on

page 8.)

Note: To flush-mount 151 speakers in a

boat, you must cut a hole in the bulkhead for

each speaker. You may want to consult a

marine electronics installer (employed by

most boat yards) before cutting any holes.

npack the speakers

Unpack each speaker carefully. Save the

carton and packing materials for possible

later use. If either speaker appears dam-

aged, do not operate either one. Repack

both speakers in the original carton and

notify your authorized Bose dealer immedi-

ately.

How to hook up Bose

151 speakers

CAUTION: Before making any connections,

turn off your receiver or amplifier and unplug

it from the outlet (the AC power mains).

hoose the

speaker cord

Be sure to use the proper gauge (thickness)

of speaker cord. Standard zip cord (2-

conductor, 18-gauge wire found at electrical

and hardware stores) works for most

applications. If your speakers will be more

than 30 feet (9 m) from the receiver or

amplifier, see the wire recommendations

under "Technical information" on page 10.

Or check with your authorized Bose dealer.

If you decide to run the speaker cord

through a wall or underground, check your

local building code requirements, or contact

an electrical installer before proceeding.

Note: Be sure to cut enough cord to reach

from the receiver to each speaker.
