Setting Up

Selecting the location for your speakers

Prior to installation, carefully select locations for your Free Space

51 speakers. The

speakers can be installed on almost any surface such as wood, concrete, or the ground.

When choosing a location, please keep the following guidelines in mind:

Figure 2

Speaker placement for

optimal coverage

• Select a level surface for your speakers. This will prevent movement or vibration during use.

• Place your speakers where the speaker cord cannot be tripped over, pinched, or pulled.

• Do not place your speakers in an area where water tends to collect.

• Do not bury your Free Space 51 speakers deeper than 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) (Figure 3a).

• Use wood screws to fasten the speaker to a wood surface, such as a deck, if desired

(Figure 3b).

Note:

If you want to connect two or more speakers to an Acoustimass

module or to other speakers,

please contact Bose

Customer Service or a professional installer for assistance.

Choosing the speaker cord (not provided)

WARNING:

Before running speaker cord through a wall or under ground, check your local

building code requirements, or contact an electrical installer.

• Use the proper gauge (thickness) of speaker cord. See “Cord recommendations” under

“Technical Information” on page 9 for proper gauge, or check with your authorized Bose

dealer.

• If your installation requires the cord to be buried in the ground, use direct-burial rated cable

or run the cord through a PVC piping channel. Always use moisture-resistant speaker cord.

• Place speakers and run cord before digging holes or burying cord.

•

If you think your speaker cord may be exposed to salt water or water containing chemicals

such as chlorine or fertilizers, you may use a silicone caulking material as added protection

for the speaker connections.
