Anyone on here ever bi-wired speakers

I got a set of Mission M74 Bi-wirable speakers and some 160 strand bi-wire cable, obviously on the back of the speakers you have 4 ports so when you get back to the amp you have 2 and I imagine you twist the two negs and 2 pos together, now making 320 strand into each amp port, its a bit of a squeeze and me thinks I must be losing something here because of this, any tips or is it a case of thats the way it is lump it.

Cheers

nooo dont do it.. well not like that anyway..

What you need is a four channel amp and an active crossover... you seperate the mid bass and treble first and then amplify each seperatly... hmm that doesnt make sense... hopefully someone will explain a bit better...

I am thinking of doing something similar in my car.. but will involve using 1 amp for left channel (bridged) and then the same again on the left..

You'll blow your tweeters up damn fast as you're by-passing your cross-overs. As Dave says, you need an active cross-over.

See the faq for more info.

Thanks guys, as stated its for the home "IDE" in-door-entertainment, thought id stick it in the ICE section as someone maybe a whizz indoors as well as incar, car is all sorted with crossovers no worries there, never seen bi-wireables for the car though.
