Connecting

the

Bose

8.2

Speaker

System

We

recommend

using

standard

zipcord,

the

wire

most

commonly

carried

by

audio

dealers

and

electrical

stores.

18

gauge

zipcord

is

adequate

for

lengths

up

to

30

feet

per

speaker.

Heavier

gauges

(12

to

14)

should

be

used

for

anything

over

this

distance.

Connecting

the

speakers

A.

Measure

the

amount

of

wire

required

for

each

speaker

and

cut

it

accord-

ingly.

If

possible,

try

to

maintain

roughly

the

same

amount

of

wire

on

both

speakers.

B.

Slightly

separate

the

conductors

at

the

end

of

each

wire.

Strip

off

approxi-

mately

1

/

2

inch

(12

mm)

of

insulation

from

each

conductor.

C.

Examine

the

wire

ends

carefully.

There

will

be

some

visible

difference

between

the

two

conductors.

If

the

wire

is

clear,

one

side

may

be

silver

and

the

other

copper.

Or,

if

the

wire

is

not

color

coded,

then

one

side

will

be

ribbed

or

striped.

In

any

event,

con-

sider

the

ribbed,

striped,

or

copper

side

to

be

positive

(

+

).

The

remain-

ing

side

(plain,

smooth,

or

silver)

is

negative

(

—

).

D.

Locate

the

speaker

terminals

on

the

rear

of

the

Part

1

(left)

speaker.

Con-

nect

the

positive

side

of

the

wire

to

the

(,F)

red

terminal,

and

the

negative

side

of

the

wire

to

the
