[QUOTE="fasfocus00, post: 6879669, member: 576857"] wow, really. have you even owned a set of bi-ampable components? I've ran bi-amplable MB Quarts for over 12 years. bi-amp is just the passive crossover network allowing 2 (hence the word "bi") inputs, allowing one input to go to the tweeter and one going to the midrange. the crossover frequencies are still the same no matter which way you do it. the first bi-amp crossover were meant to give you the user the tuning capabilites of active setup with out the price of an active crossover. you are also sadly mistaken in you stating that the amp only sees 4 ohms due to the crossover. if you bi amp the crossover, it'll see independent loads of 4 ohms, so if each is on the same channel it'll see 2 4 ohm loads resulting in a 2 ohm load. so if he has a 2 channel amp that put out 50x2@4ohms and 75x2@2ohms, if he runs his crossover in the bi-amp setting the amp will see a 2 ohm load resulting in more power being sent to the speakers. bi-amping is not only useful if you have separate processing, it is useful in being able to run at a lower impedance to get more power from your amp.
