Use The Cord Properly; Make The Connections - Bose 151 Owner's Manual

U
se the cord properly
Speaker cord consists of two insulated
wires. The insulation around one wire is
striped, collared, or ribbed. This marked
wire is always positive (+). The plain wire is
always negative (–). These correspond to
the red (+) and black (–) terminals on the
back of the speaker, receiver, or amplifier.
Be sure to connect each wire to the proper
terminal (positive to positive, negative to
negative).
• Prepare the ends of each cord
At the ends of each cord, strip approxi-
mately 1/2 inch (12 mm) of insulation from
both wires. Twist the bare ends of each wire.
• Connect the cords to your speakers
At the back of your speaker, unscrew the
hex knob on one terminal post. This reveals
a small opening through the post. Insert the
bare end of one wire into the opening.
Tighten the knob to secure the wire. Now
insert the second wire into the second
terminal post (see Figure 2).
• Protect the cord
To guard against weather wear on exposed
wires, see "How to maintain Bose
speakers" on page 8.
