If the sound is not localized between the speakers and is lacking in bass, it's possible that one set of speaker connections is reversed. Reverse the connections to one speaker only and repeat the test. 3. Fusing Your 501s Any loudspeaker may be damaged if the amplifier powering it should fail. Fusing your speakers will minimize the possibility of damage due to either amplifier failure or "overdriving" the speaker by a large amplifier. When using amplifiers producing over 50 watts per channel, your Model 501 speaker should be fused.It Is important to real- ize that overdriving your amplifier (playing so loud that serious distortion results) generates excessive high frequency energy that can damage the tweeters even with a low power amplifier. Referring to the speaker connection diagram, the fuseholders should be inserted in the positive wire connecting each speaker. Be sure to place the fuse in an easily accessible location. BOSE Corporation recommends use of a 2ampere, fast-acting Buss AGC Series or Littelfuse AG Series. A fuse kit containing fuses and holders can be obtained from BOSE Customer Service Department for $5.00. Ask for part number 108938-1.
