Unpacking the carton
Carefully unpack your speakers and save all packing m
aterials for possible future use. Check
that your system contains the parts identified in Figure 1. Do not attempt to use your speakers if any part of them appears damaged. Instead, notify Bose Corporation or your authorized
Bose dealer immediately.
WARNING: To avoid danger of suffocation, keep the plastic bags out of the reach of children.

Setting Up
Selecting the location for your speakers
English
For best results, mount both speakers on the same wall, facing the listening area. Make sure
they do not face each other. (Outdoors, if you are not using an existing wall, consider the
length of your listening area as your “wall.”)
The 251 speakers should be placed at least 7 feet (2 m) apart.
TM
Please consider the following before mounting your speakers:
• Measure the length of speaker wire you need to connect each speaker to your receiver
or amplifier. To determine the wire gauge you will need, refer to the “Wire recom-
mendations” on page 13.
• It is important that the speaker wire not be tripped over, pinched, or pulled. Determine
the best route to protect the wire.
CAUTION: Do not mount on surfaces that are not sturdy enough, or that have hazards concealed
behind them, such as plumbing or electrical wire. If you are unsure about installing these speakers,
contact a qualified professional installer.
• Regardless of where you place your speakers, make sure they cannot fall and cause
injuries.
• Bose 251 speakers are not magnetically shielded. Keep them at least 9 inches (23 cm)
from any video screen or monitor.

Note: This product is not intended for use in areas where it will be subject to high vibration. If you
are unsure about installing these speakers, contact a qualified professional installer.

Choosing the speaker wire
English
Be sure to use the proper gauge (thickness) of speaker wire. Standard zip cord (2-conductor,
18-gauge wire found at electrical a
nd hardware stores) works for most applications. If your
speakers will be more than 30 feet (9 m) from the receiver or amplifier, see the “Wire recommendations” under “Technical Information” on page 13. Or check with your authorized Bose
dealer.
®
If you decide to run the speaker wire through a wall or underground, check your local building
code requirements, or contact an electrical installer before proceeding.
Note: Be sure to cut enough wire to reach from the receiver to each speaker.
CAUTION: Before making any connections, turn off your receiver or amplifier and unplug it from
the outlet (the AC power mains).
Installing the mounting brackets
The 251 speakers should be mounted using the supplied brackets. They can be mounted
onto the exterior of a house or onto a deck railing or table. If you choose not to use the supplied brackets, be sure to position your 251 speakers on a sturdy surface.
TM
CAUTION: If you do not use the supplied brackets, choose a level surface for
the speakers. Vibration can cause the speakers to move, so it is important that you install the supplied rubber feet
before using the speakers on a surface. Refer to “Attaching the rubber feet” on page 11.
Installing the brackets onto the exterior of a house
The 251 speakers should be mounted in a vertical position to achieve the best musical
performance. Figure 3 illustrates how the mounted speaker will look once the installation is
complete. To begin, mark four holes to indicate where you want to install the speaker bracket
(Figure 4). For wood, drill four starter holes using a ⁄ inch (2,5 mm) drill bit (Figure 5). For cement, drill four starter holes using a ⁄ inch (6,0 mm) drill bit (Figure 5).

Note: If you are mounting your 251 speakers on a deck railing or table, you will need to rotate the
Bose logo. Refer to “Rotating the Bose logo” on page 11 for instructions on how to do this.

Attaching the speakers to the brackets
Once the brackets are installed, carefully follow these steps to attach the speakers to the
brackets. First, insert the knobs into each side of the speakers. Be sure to turn each knob two
full rotations (Figure 11). Then, carefully slide the speakers into the brackets
(Figure 12). Finally,
temporarily tighten the speaker in a position that will allow you to easily connect the speaker
wire (Figures 13A and 13B).

Making the connections
Preparing the speaker wire (not provided)
Speaker cord consists of two insulated wires. The insulation around one wire is striped,
collared, or ribbed. This marked wire is positive (+). The plain wire is negative (–). These
correspond to the red (+) and black (–) terminals on the back of the speaker, receiver, or
amplifier. Be sure to connect each wire to the proper terminal (positive to positive, negative
to negative).

At the end
s of each cord, strip approximately ⁄ inch (1.3 cm) of insulation from both wires
(Figure 14). Next, twist the ends of each wire so there are no loose strands.

Connecting the speaker wire to the speakers
At the back of your speaker, unscrew the hex knobs on the terminal posts. This reveals a
small opening through each post (Figure 15). Using the wire guides, insert the marked wire
into the red (+) terminal. Then insert the plain wire into the black (–) terminal. Tighten the
knobs to secure the wires. See Figures 16A and 16B on page 10.

e to the red (+) terminal.
b. Attach the plain wire to the black (–) terminal.
2. Connect the speaker on the right side of the listening area to the right channel of your
receiver or amplifier, following the same procedure above (Figure 17).
Note: If your 251 speakers are being connected as a secondary set of speakers to your receiver
or amplifier, be sure to make the appropriate connections to the “B” channel.

Connecting the speaker wire
Checking the connections
Check the speaker connections carefully. Make sure no loose strands of wire touch across
terminals. This could create short circuits that can damage an amplifier or receiver.
Tighten any loose connections before you plug in the receiver or amplifier.
Testing the connections
To make sure your speakers operate correctly, follow these steps:
1. Set the balance control on your receiver or amplifier to normal (centered).
2. Play some deep bass passages of music through the speakers.
The sound should se
em to come from a point between the two speakers. The bass should
be full and natural. If not, your connections may be reversed, causing the speakers to play
out of phase. Refer to “Making the connections” on page 9. To correct the problem, make
sure all the wires are connected positive to positive (+ to +) and negative to negative (– to –).
Then repeat steps 1 and 2 to re-test the speakers.
