Hi, I just recently bought Bose SE 151 environmental speakers and I would like to know if I can use these cables to connect the speaker to the TV?

If your speakers accept bannana or pin connectors (these can be converted to pin or bananna connectors) and your tv accepts bannana or pin connectors then yes BUT I don't believe any tv has these types (bananna or pin) of connections. Many stereo recievers accept bananna connectors but tv's no. I think RCA is the type of connector ends you need to go straight from your tv BUT those Bose speakers need an amplifier/home stereo to power the speakers.

Theae cables can be used to connect the speakers to an amplifier/receiver, but not directly to a TV, as I've only seen TVs with RCA, 1/8", and/or Optical out. You would be able to make the phyical connection using an adapter, but the output from the TV is not designed to drive an unpowered (passive) speaker set. To use these speakers with your TV, purchase an amp/receiver. Also, these speakers seem to be aimed at outdoor applications. While these cables will work, they are not intended for outdoor use. You may want to try something a little more weatherproof.

Yes,you just have to twist off the banana plugs and use the pin connectors if they are too big to fit,but they should fit

Thanks, I have bought 100ft mediabridge 16 gauge speaker wires. And was reading comments that for better sound quality and no loss, better to use end connectors as exposed wires can result in short circuit. I dont entirely agree with that, but wanted to confirm with people who have already installed speaker systems.

What 2 channel types do you have?I tried connecting my Bose directly to the PS3's digital optical port, which works perfectly fine. In fact, I think the quality is slightly better than hooking it up from the TV's digital optical output but the only limitation is that you won't be able to output regular tv from your bose speakers.

Yep, you just have to make sure the rca in the tv is output and the 3.5mm in the bose link, input.

Good speaker cables will work and connect to your receiver. I am very pleased with the sound of my Bose 301 speakers.

you may have to be creative like cut the RCA cable and use those wires to hook it up if the tv has RCA ports. Here let me explain a little better plug in the RCA plug into the TV and cut the other end to put into the speaker leads.

These speakers are not self-powered. Thus you need to have the DVD player go through an amplifier or receiver before going to the Bose 161's via speaker level output.

You need an amp. I doubt that your TV has a powered output capable of driving the Bose.

These speakers wire to your stereo/tuner like any others, they are powered by a transformer. Should be audio outputs on the tv to connect to the stereo amp/tuner. Mine work fine.

Yes you can. The Speakers come with the corresponding cables for the TV input.

All the wires from the speakers connect to the back of the wall plate and you can use normal speaker wire. The cable goes from the wall plate to the sub. So I believe that the Sony speakers can be connected. I'm just not sure how they will sound because I don't know what the sub does. If it adjusts the frequecy curve for a particular bose speaker, then your Sony may not sound very good at all. Also, your Sony speakers are likely more or less sensitive than the bose so they may be louder or quieter than the bose. I'm pretty sure that the Sony speakers will sound much different from the Bose. About all you can do is try it and see what happens.

In the previous response I hit yes by accident. I am not sure what you are asking because this is an adapter that you use on some Bose products if you have bare speaker wire. The bare wire could be coming from a receiver, amplifier or whatever you are using to power the speaker. Whatever it is, you will need bare speaker wire coming from that electronic item going into this adapter which will be connected to the back of the Bose speaker. So to answer your question no you don't have to have a receiver to use the adapter but you will need something that use bare speaker wire to power the Bose speakers. Hope this helps with your question. In the previous response I hit yes by accident.

I assume that you don't have an audio RCA output either. Many newer TV's only have a Toslink or Coax connector. I connect my Sennheiser to my Samsung SMART TV with a digital to analog converter. They accept Toslink or Coax inputs.The cheaper ones only take PCM and can be found for $10 to $25 on the internet. It works great for me.

Yes. I currently have mine hooked to my LG flat screen. You should have an 3.5mm audio jack, simply plug it in. If you have everything in and the volume up on both the tv and the Bose system and nothing comes through, simply go into the TVs audio setup and adjust for an outside system. Hopefully this helps you out my friend.

I have older Bose speakers, high end. Quite satisfied with them. So far I haven't gotten into spending on fancy cables of any brand. Penny stocks might be a better bet!

it is an amplified speaker, so if increased volume at a remote location is needed then these should work. The connection is a 3.5mm receptacle in the back of the base (Same connector as headphone jack on a cell phone). you will need to verify that your TV has an Audio OUT connector. These are usually Red and Black "RCA" jacks. So you will need a cable with a 3.5mm male on one end and a amtch of your TV on the other end (Either RCA or 3.5mm).
