Bose 151 environmental speakers Owner's Manual

If you place your 151

speakers outdoors,

you will probably connect them to an
amplifier or receiver that is inside.

Note:

You may want to consult an electrical

installer who can route wires underground
or through walls if necessary.

Whether you mount them inside or out,
consider the following:

• Measure the length of speaker cords you

need to connect each speaker to your
receiver or amplifier. To determine the
wire gauge you will need, refer to the wire
gauge recommendations under “Techni-
cal information” on page 10.

• It is important that the speaker cord not

be tripped over, pinched, or pulled.
Determine the best route to protect the
wire.

want the speakers

For best results, mount both speakers on the
same wall, facing the listening area. Make
sure they do not face each other. (Outdoors,
if you are not using an existing wall, con-
sider the length of your listening area as
your “wall.”)

Measure the length of the wall and divide
that length by six. Place one speaker one-
sixth the length from the left end of the wall.
Place the other speaker one-sixth the length
from the right end (see Figure 1).
