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
Unpack 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-

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)
Choose 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 11
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
