Choose the cord

Itisimportanttousethepropergauge(thickness)ofspeakercord.Standardzipcord

(2-conductor,18-gaugestrandedwire)worksformostapplications.Youcanndthiswire

at most electrical and hardware stores.

You will need thicker wire if your speakers will be more than 30 feet from a receiver or

ampliﬁer. Refer to the wire recommendations under “Technical information” on page 7, or

contact Bose

service or your local Bose Service agency 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 or ampliﬁer.

Attheendsofeachcord,stripapproximately

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 down the terminal tab on the back of each speaker to insert the appropriate wire

(Figure2).
