I know this is against the rules, please let it slip just once! posted_image

I have a HOME audio question, it's very simple, I just need some advice.

Thanks in advanced for the help.

These are my speakers,

I wanted to know how to connect the woofers because each speaker has two separate terminals because they are bi-ampable. Do I just jump the connections?

All I have a home theater receiver. Should I use the extra channels to give the woofers power?

I forgot to include a specific topic title, sorry guys. Some people get p.o.'d about that.

Yes, jump the speaker terminals with a short length of speaker wire and connect your main speaker wires to either set of terminals.  Use the front left and right speaker inputs on your receiver.  I don't believe that bi-amping is appropriate for this loudspeaker although I know that it is capable of it.  Bi-ampable loudspeakers are a fashion statement now but most people go the bridged route, usually using an impressive looking gold connector bar.  It, too, is a fashion statement and gives no advantage over normal speaker wire.
