How would I Bi amp these with my 4 channel amp

If you have left and right crossovers like the one shown, use the 4 channel output diagram on the paper. Two into each crossover.

Are you able to circle the one I need please.

Yes... just make sure you do the same for the right channel.

Are you going to run a GM-DXXX 4-channel amp to a set of Focal K2's?

You might want to consider something like this instead.

MUCH cleaner, much much cleaner, same power.

It while I save for a DSP so not long term

Thank you very much but does it matter how they already are market up left and right, the first picture didn’t show it clearly

I'm going to suggest that you don't bi-wire/bi-amp at all.

There are times when this is a benefit, say when you're going active. I would bridge whichever 4-channel amp and run the crossovers using the normal input; you won't hear the difference in a car.

The reason Focal does this is for staggered multi-amp configurations where you're actually using two different amplifiers with different output power, say 150x2 for the midbass and 75x2 for the mid/tweeter setup.

You would benefit more from running the 4-channel amp in bridged mode and feeding the two sides a straight 300x2 instead; let the crossover distribute the power.

Seriously, this will provide you with a much better outcome.

Otherwise, you're just leaving power on the table.

Thanks man, so literally just loop the woofer input to the input of the mid and tweeter

For the version I suggested you would have to use Y splitters for the RCA in on the amp for the stereo effect. If you are just waiting to get a DSP, absolutely I would simplify the install like Dox suggested.

Alright, thank you for the help
