Tools required

You will need the following tools to complete this installation:

•Phillips-head screwdriver.

•An appropriate cutting tool for the surface to be cut. For installation in fiberglass or wood,

we recommend a sabre saw. Use a short blade, and have some extra blades available. A

hole saw may also be used. Large diameter hole saws are available and they allow you to

make circular cuts on a flat surface.

•Drill with the following bits:

- For drilling the screw holes a

⁄

inch (.24 cm) bit is preferred, but you could also use a

⁄

(.32 cm) inch bit.

- For drilling the starter hole, use a

⁄

inch (.8 cm) bit.

•Center punch or awl.

•Half-round file or rasp.

•Eye and ear protection; dust mask.

CAUTION:

Failure to follow these instructions voids all warranties on your speakers. If you

are unsure of your ability to complete this process, consult a professional installer. Please

read this owner’s guide completely before beginning installation.

Unpack the carton

Carefully unpack your speakers and save all packing materials for possible future use. Do not

attempt to use your speaker system if any part of it appears damaged. Notify Bose

Corpora-

tion or your authorized Bose dealer immediately. Check that your system contains the parts

identified in Figure 1. For shipping, the mounting flange is packed inside its speaker grille.

Separate these components before installation.

Notes:

Please remove the perforated drilling and cutting template from the inner carton

containing the grille and mounting flange. Also remove the perforated speaker cone shields

from the inner cartons containing the enclosures. You will need the template and shields

during installation.

Now is a good time to record each speaker serial number on page 2 of this guide and on

your warranty card.

Selecting the right locations

Mount from the rear if you

can insert the speaker enclo-

sure behind the bulkhead

mounting surface.

Mount from the front if you

cannot reach behind the

mounting surface. If you are

uncertain about the depth and

clearance behind your mount-

ing surface, consult your boat

manufacturer or dealer.

Setting Up

Select the locations for your speakers

In selecting locations for your speakers, understand that there are two possible mounting

options. It is easiest to mount the speakers from behind the mounting surface. However, if

you cannot reach behind the mounting surface, you may cut a larger hole that allows you to

insert the speaker enclosure from the front of the mounting surface. See Figure 2. With this in

mind, find a location that:

•Allows sufficient room to snap on the grille. Use the template to be sure there is

enough area around the holes you will cut in the bulkhead.

•Allows sufficient room for the speaker enclosure behind the bulkhead. During installation,

the enclosure requires 4

⁄

inches (11 cm) of mounting depth. However, once installed the

enclosure requires only 3

⁄

inches (9 cm) of mounting depth and 12 inches (31 cm) of

extension. The enclosure may be rotated in a complete circle, but attaches to the mounting

flange in only one position.

•Accommodates the speaker wire provided. Lay out lengths of wire that comfortably

reach from the receiver to each speaker. Be sure the wires are secure and protected

from being pinched, pulled, or damaged in any way.

•Is not close enough to adversely affect any compass.

Note:

The magnets in the speakers will affect a boat compass. Avoid mounting the speakers

closer than three feet from the compass. If necessary, a marine installer can help correct any

deviation.

Note:

Before going any further with your assembly, choose one of the methods de-

scribed in Figure 2 above. The instructions for A begin on page 7; B on page 11.

English

Test the speakers

It is a good idea to test your system before installation. With the power turned off, connect

the receiver to the speakers.

The provided speaker cord consists of two insulated wires; one is marked or ribbed, and is

always positive (+). The plain wire is always negative (–). The wires correspond to the red (+)

and black (–) terminals on the back of the speaker, receiver, or amplifier. Place the stripped

end of the positive (+) right channel receiver wire together with the stripped end of the

positive (+) right speaker wire. Then place the stripped end of the negative right channel

receiver wire together with the stripped end of the negative right speaker wire. Repeat this

procedure for the left speaker.

Be sure to connect each wire to the proper terminal (positive to positive, negative to nega-

tive). For this test, just twist the wire ends together. You will use the supplied wire nuts for the

permanent connections.

When you are satisfied that everything works, disconnect the speakers and continue with the

installation.

Mounting the speakers

CAUTION:

Be sure to mount your 131

marine speakers on a bulkhead only. Do not cut

holes in the hull. We recommend you consult a marine installer before drilling or cutting any

holes. Choose a safe spot for drilling. Do not mount the speakers on surfaces with concealed

hazards, such as electrical conduits or plumbing.

The cutting and drilling template

Locate the cutting and drilling template. It is perforated into the inner carton that contained

your grilles and mounting flanges. The template has four functions.

1. It helps you position the speaker enclosure by showing how much room to provide for

the extension of the enclosure behind the bulkhead.

2. It shows you how much room to allow for the snap on grille.

3. It assists you in cutting the appropriate hole size in the bulkhead wall.

4. It helps you drill the mounting screw holes in the bulkhead.

The template has two punch-out hole diameters. Use the smaller size for installation from

behind the bulkhead. Use the larger for installation from the front. See Figures 2 & 3.

The template

English

Installing Your Speakers From The Rear Of The Bulkhead

Drill a starter hole that is large enough

for your sabre saw blade. Be sure to

drill inside and close to the line you

have marked.

Installation from the rear of the bulkhead

A 4

Choose the 5

⁄

inch (13.6 cm) diameter hole size if you can comfortably hold the

speaker enclosure from behind the wall while installing screws from the front. This is

the preferred mounting method. If the hole you cut is not perfect, any slight overcut

will be hidden by the grille.

Determine that there is enough room by

reaching into the mounting area and

sweeping with your hand. Determine

where you will drill the hole for the

speaker. You should also experiment by

placing the speaker enclosure behind

the bulkhead before making your final

selection. Any orientation of the speaker

enclosure is acceptable.

A 1

CAUTION:

Determine whether any

obstacles exist behind the mounting

surface. To be certain, contact your boat

manufacturer or dealer. Also, be certain

that the enclosure will fit within the mount-

ing area before drilling any holes.

Place the template over the area

where the speaker is to be located

and mark the 5

⁄

inch (13.6 cm)

hole with a metal scribing tool or

pencil.

A 3

The round outer edge of the template

shows how much room to allow for

the grille. The long end is used to plan

for room for the enclosure behind the

bulkhead. There are two perforated

circles in the template. Snap out the

smaller one.

A 2

English

Hold the speaker enclosure up to the

hole from behind the bulkhead and find

the best position for the extended

portion of the enclosure. Be sure the

enclosure is hidden behind the bulkhead.

If the enclosure does not fit, use the file

or rasp to enlarge the hole.

Use a half-round file or wood rasp to

smooth out any roughness in the hole

you have cut.

Using the sabre saw, cut the hole for the

speaker, carefully following the line. Take

your time; you want a smooth-edged

circular hole.

Installing Your Speakers From The Rear Of The Bulkhead

Place the mounting flange so that it

interlocks with the enclosure and is flush

with the mounting surface.

A 5

A 6

A 7

A 8

English

Drill the marked holes using a

⁄

inch

(.32 cm) bit. Use a center punch to make

a slight indentation for your drill bit. This

will keep the drill bit from “walking” away

from the mark you have made.

Installing Your Speakers From The Rear Of The Bulkhead

Mark six screw holes. Use the smallest

hole pattern that fits.

You need to open one of the five marked

drain holes because water can enter your

131

marine speaker through the ports on

the front of the enclosure.

Holding the enclosure in the mounting

position you chose in Step 7, find the drain

hole that will be at the lowest point when

the speaker is mounted and break through

the surface using a center punch, awl, or

⁄

inch (.32 cm) drill bit.

Remove the enclosure from behind the

bulkhead.

CAUTION:

Be sure the enclosure is not in

place behind the bulkhead while drilling.

CAUTION:

Acoustic performance is reduced

if the hole is larger than

⁄

inch (.32 cm) in

diameter.
