RE: Threshold is connected

Your Threshold seems to be putting out DC at start up. This means that you need to leave a speaker level cap on the Threshold like the one inside the external crossover box. You can biamp with an active crossover on the bass, but the Threshold amp will have to be crossed at the speaker level with the stock value capacitor - just get a better one, like a Mundorf M cap - say the 12 uf bypassing a Jensen crosscap or Solen of 47 uF.

The bass amp - Get another Threshold. Or a Pass. But bass duties are best done by one of the new very powerful class D amps that you can leave on forever and they will take less energy than a light bulb. The Threshold consumes far more power as a class A amp, and leaving it on will age it more quickly because of the higher operating temperature of Class A amplification.
