Choose
the
cord
It is important to use the proper gauge (thickness)
of
speaker cord Standard zip cord
(2-conductor, 18-gauge
Wire)
works
for
most applications
You
can find this wire
at
most
electrical and hardware stores
You
will need thicker wire if your speakers will be more than 30 feet
(9
m)
from a receiver (or
amplifier) Refer
to
the wire recommendations under "Technical information" on page 10,
or
contact your authorized Bose$ dealer for more information
Note: Before running speaker
cord
through a wall or under a floor
check
your local
building code requirements
and
safety regulations
You
may want
to
contact an electrical
installer for this information
Prepare
the
cord
Speaker cord consists
of
two
insulated wires The insulation around one wire is marked
(striped, collared,
or
ribbed). This marked wire is always positive
(+)
The plain wire is always
negative (-) These wires correspond
to
the red
(+)
and black (-) terminals on the speakers
and the receiver
At the ends
of
each cord, strip approximately
1;2
inch
(12
mm)
of
insulation from both wires
Twist the bare end
of
each wire so loose strands will not touch across terminals Be sure
to
connect each wire
to
the proper terminal (positive
to
positive and negative
to
negative)
Note:
It
is
sometimes difficult
to
distinguish wire markings Inspect both wires carefully
Make
the
connections
Just press the terminal tab on the back
of
each speaker
to
insert the appropriate wire
