In Reply to: How does it work when you biwire a 3 way...... posted by Bill the K on March 17, 2007 at 01:33:07:
Hi Bill,The simplest setup for a 3-way is when it has 3 pairs of BPs. If you run it with one pair of wires, then you can take these wires to any one of the 3 pairs and run jumpers to the other pairs. (The combinations will probably all sound unique!)
If you bi-wire then you can choose which 2 (out of the 3) pairs you directly connect to, and you only need one pair of jumpers to the third pair of BPs.
If your 3-ways only have 2 pairs of BPs then, usually IMO, one pair of BPs is for the bass driver (ie. it leads to the bass lowpass filter) and the other connects to the mids and tweeters (ie. it leads to a mid-panel bandpass filter and a tweeter highpass filter).
Regards,
Andy
