Decide Where You Want The Speakers - Bose 151 Owner's Manual

Decide where you
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 of the length from the left end of the
wall Place the other speaker one-sixth the
length from the right end (see Figure 1)
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 11
• It is important that the speaker cord not
be tripped over, pinched, or pulled
Determine the best route to protect the
wire
