Post Number: 2095 Registered: Nov-05 | i have polk mmc6500 components. they have an option to biwire. on the crossovers they have 2 + and 2 - inputs. now is all i need to do is split my + lead into two and put one lead to each positive, and then do the same for the negative leads?? will it mess up the ohms? |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindWww.15inchwangers.com Post Number: 9451 Registered: Oct-05 | ok now are we talking about the car components? if you are, amping the mid and tweeter separately gives you more control. if you set it right, it can sound much better. |

Post Number: 1067 Registered: Mar-06 | didnt read all of this thread..but ussualy when your crossover has 2 sets of inputs its so you can connect different amps or channels to each speaker, tweeter and midrange. there is ussualy a switch on the crossover so you can select parallel or bi-amp. When it is in paralel mode you just need to connect either input... |
