How

and

""here

Bose

151

speakers

Bose

151

speakers are designed to meet

the challenges ofyear-round outdoor use

They can deliver Bose quality sound to

areas where you work, play, and relax

outside From potting shed to workshop,

patio to poolside, they will extend your

musical pleasure You can even install

151

speakers on board your boat

You may also use these speakers indoors,

areas where high humidity is common, such

as an indoor pool area or bathroom

Once you decidewhere you will use your

151

speakers, considerthe optional all-

weather mounting and installation accesso-

ries from Bose (Refer to "Accessories" on

page

8 )

Decide

where

you

want

the

speakers

For best results, mount both speakers on the

same wall, facing the listening area Make

sure they

not face each other (Outdoors,

if you are not using an existing wall, con-

sider the length of your listening areaas

your "wall ")

Measure the length of the wall and

divide

that length

six Place one speaker one-

sixth ofthe length from the left end of the

wall Place the other speaker one-sixth the

length from the right end (see Figure

If you

place

your

151

®speakers outdoors,

you will

probably

connect

them to an

amplifier or receiver that is inside

Note:

You

may

want

consultan electrical

installer who can route wires underground

through walls ifnecessary

Whether you mountthem inside or out,

consider

the following

•Measure the length of speaker

cords

you

need to

connect

each speakerto your

receiver or amplifier To determine the

wire

gauge

you will need, refer to the wire

gauge

recommendations under "Techni-

cal information" on

page

•It is importantthat the speaker cord not

tripped

over, pinched, or pulled

Determine the best route to protectthe

wire
