Placing the speakers
The product label on the back
of
each speaker indicates
LEFT
or
RIGHT.
For best acoustic
performance, place the left speaker on the left side as you face your speakers and place the
right speaker on the right side.
Keep the speakers 6 - 15 feet (1.8 - 6
m)
apart and at least 10 inches
(25
cm) from side walls
(see Figure
3).
It is important not to block the acoustic components at the rear
of
each speaker.
To
avoid
this, place each speaker at least 8inches
(20
cm) from the wall behind it.

Choosing the speaker cord
It is important
to
use the proper gauge (thickness)
of
speaker cord. Standard zip cord (2-con-
ductor, 18-gauge or .82 mm2wire or larger)
is
recommended for most applications.
You
can
find this wire at most electrical and hardware stores.
If the length
of
speaker wire extends more than 20 feet
(6
m)
from areceiver or amplifier, refer
to
"Wire recommendations" on page 9or contact your authorized Bose dealer for more infor-
mation.
Running the speakercord through awall
or
under
afloor
Make sure you have enough cord
to
reach from the receiver
to
each speaker. For in-wall
installation, check your local building code requirements. Before proceeding, you may want
to contact an electrical installer for information about your local bUilding or safety regulations.
