Guest Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 (edited) shouldnt be too hard. i drew up a quickie diagram on how to do it. i know some RF components have 2 inputs per crossover, one for woofer one for tweeter, but the manual tells you what input to use if you are using 1 amp for both woofer and tweeter and not one amp for each. its the same as wiring up anything else except you have a crossover to deal with. the light blue is from crossover to the tweeter and woofer which is self explanatory. but the red and black is speaker wire going to amp to crossover (again refer to manual on which input to use on the crossover IF you have 2 separate inputs) Edited October 31, 2010 by Kranny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 bingo, page 4 of the manual. tells you about bi-amp crossover wiring (if you want to hook up 2 amps per crossover). to switch the crossover to use 1 amp, take the cover off the bottom of the crossover, and flip the BI-AMP switch to OFF and then hook up amp channel to the TWT (tweeter) input. and thats it.
