Bose® SA5 Owner's Manual

Setting up the System

After you place your speakers, connect the speaker wires to the amplifier. See 

“Installation guidelines” on page 10.

Speaker wires consist of two insulated wires:
•  The marked wire (stripes, ribbing or color) connects to the positive (+) terminal. 
•  The plain wire connects to the negative (–) terminal. 

To connect two pairs of speakers, see page 13.
1.  Make sure the amplifier is not plugged into an AC (mains) power source.
2.  Remove a terminal block connector from the SPEAKERS OUT  

connector.

3.  Connect the speaker wires:

A.  Insert the left speaker’s marked wire into the

positive terminal and 

the plain wire into the

negative

 terminal.

B.  Insert the right speaker’s marked wire to the

positive terminal  

and the plain wire to the

negative

 terminal.

4.  Secure the wires into the terminals using a small, flat-head screwdriver to 

tighten the screws on the terminals
