Just installed some MB Quart Q components and a Zapco amp. I just wanted to double check on the Bi Wire configuration. I am currently only using two of the channels, the fronts, on the Zapco. I ran 4 sets of speaker wire to the two terminals, two for left, two for right. Which should give me a 2 ohm load on the amp, still 4 ohm on the speakers, right? I guess my question is, is this the best configuration? Would I see any benefit Bi Amping with the other two channels?

there's no reason to run 4 sets of speakers off two channels unless your adding a sub-woofer or the rear* outputs lack desired crossover settings maybe? any how if none of those are true i would run the zapco amp in a standard set ie. rear channel= rear speakers front channel= fornt speakers or you could seperate the mids from the highs ie. front+ rear higs = front channels , front + rear mids = rear channels this would give you more control over your over all mid-base and highs but would destroy your imigeing ie. you want the sound to be in front* of you not all around, bi- amp would be a good choise if you where using the zapco amp to run only the front cross overs and had a seperate amp/radio for the rear set. hope that helps ya out ------------- life is a comedy to think, a tragedy to feel

I am only using the zapco for the front channels, the rears are running off deck power and mostly faded to the front, so I am not too concerned with the rears.
