ok so i want to wire my components and obviously there are 3 ways to do so. 1st, input to low pass and output to speakers. 2nd, input to low pass and high pass from the same channel of amp, output to speakers and adjusting the crossover to "biwire". 3rd, input to hi and low pass from different amps and adjusting the crossover to bi-amp. now i have a 4 channel amp to power the components and a set of 6x9's. would i notice any difference if a wired it as biwire over wiring it with only low pass input? why?

Not really sure what you're explaining...but the normal way would be to run your amp at full range, output to an external x-over and then onto the tweet and mid.

well if u have 4 channels run it all seperate but if u only have 2 i would say the bi wire way it says its a little better right? (just skimmed threw) cant hurt to try them both out

yeah true, i have a 4ch abut i have 6x9's also. I'll do the biwire, but i dont feel like wiring the whole thing again (since the crossovers are in the front), am going to split the wire for the other input and tell you if there is any improvement.

Do it the regular way. Your just gonna end up wasting wire .

yeah that's what i thought and thats why am going to split the wire or connect both of the inputs together. that should be the same except for the fact that it isn't going to be concidered as a bigger gauge wire.

wooow, all i did is connecting the inputs together and setting the jumper at "bi-wire" and it actually sounds MUCH cleaner at higher volumes, which enables you to give it more power. Basically, the speakers sound cleaner and louder. thanx for all of your openions :D

Hence the purpose of a crossover..
