A:AnswerThey are outdoor speakers so they should would fine on a boat and marine weather. However, they are probably a larger/heavier form factor than would suitable for most boats. Also the mounting brackets aren't intended for the types of bumps you might encounter with any type of sport boating.
A:AnswerHello Harv, thanks for the great question! We recommend 18 gauge up to 30 ft from your amplifier, 16 gauge up to 45 ft and 14 gauge for up to 70 ft. Hope this helps!
A:AnswerThanks for the question! While you could put it into a nook cut into the column, doing so may limit the amount of area that the speaker covers. We can definitely help you with the setup. Please call our technical support team at 800-380-4831 so that we may assist further. We are here to help Monday through Friday 9am to 9pm EST.
A:AnswerHell Bernardo. The Bose 251 speakers need to be connected to an amplifier to power them. For compatibility with the SoundTouch 20, we would recommend the SA-5 amplifier which supports SoundTouch. Thanks!
A:AnswerHello there. The 251 speakers need a receiver or amplifier to power them, but you could definitely connect your iPad to the receiver and listen to it through the speakers that way. As far as distance, there isn't an ideal placement, they should be at ear level between 4 to 12 feet apart. Thanks!
A:AnswerHello Tristan. The Bose 251 speakers will handle 10-200 W per channel, 4-8 ohms, so as long as the output of the amplifier you are using is in that range, you could definitely use them as PA speakers. Thanks!
A:AnswerHello there. Great questions. The brackets do allow the speakers to be angled slightly downward when mounted vertically. However, we do not recommend mounting them horizontally as that affect the sound. Thanks!
A:AnswerI don't think this ones will work good for you, in this particular case. This Bose 251 are excellent, but won't look right in the ceiling. Are made to go on the wall. Maybe, try to bring the wire from the ceiling to the speakers high up, but the bracket to be mounted on the wall. Or, try other speakers ( ceiling speakers- flush mounted), if you have some space above the ceiling. Good luck..!
A:AnswerYamaha R-N500BL Network Receiver is your receiver. You do not need surround sound amplifier, but stereo amplifier with 2 zones, fully controlled by a smartphone app, ipad or tablet - Yamaha app- has airplay ( play music from your phone), play any radio station in the world, local radio, control power on and off, inputs, volume etc.
Hope this will help you.
A:AnswerThe V35 is capable of expanding to multiple rooms through its Boselink connection. Either our SA2 or SA3 Lifestyle amplifier and a PMCIII expansion remote would be necessary to complete the setup.
