I just recieved a used Rainbow SLC 265.03 component set and I have a couple questions...
1. I will be powering them with a Xtant A4004 4-channel amplifier, that outputs 50W RMS x 4 @ 4 ohms or 200W x 2 @ 4 ohms bridged. I think these speakers are rated for 60 or 65W nominal. I think it's 100W max. The crossover for the speakers allows for bi-amping. I'm only going to use this amplifier for powering the front speakers, so should I:
a. Run 200W RMS to each side.
b. Bi-amp and run 50W to the tweeters and 50W to the mids
c. Just use 2 channels on the amp and run 50W to each side
2. I need an explanation of this crossover. I don't have a picture but here's a diagram of what it looks like:
From the output side first, I'm guessing the -3db is for the tweeter level, but how do I use that?
Now onto the input side, what is the connection with the "T"?
How would I connect the amplifier to the input side if I'm bi-amping?
