[QUOTE="Chaplin G, post: 8678502, member: 677402"] Hello! I am putting a system together and have been researching like crazy but I can't find two definitive answers to this, even checking the manual AND contacting Focal USA support (no reply after 3 days). I did get an answer from Crutchfield but that's one random person and I want to ensure he's correct or if I need to buy something else before starting my build For the front stage I bought the Focal components PS165FX. It has weird (to me) crossover boxes. Bi-ampable. But... for now... I'm not going to bi-amp them, just use them with my new 5-channel Alpine PDX-V9. (rear seats Focal coaxials, and 2 10" Pioneer shallow subs) Since it's bi-ampable there are FOUR inputs. I'm told if you take the jumpers out then it becomes bi-ampable. Since I'm not doing that, how do I use them with the one amp? The inputs are: W-, W+, T-, T+. Do I just leave the jumpers in, plug my front stage speaker wires into W-/+, and ignore the Tweeter -/+ inputs? Then from the outputs, just connect to tweets and my Focals as usual? Thanks in advance, any advice greatly appreciated. If it matters I'm also using a Clarion 7 band EQ [/QUOTE]
