I'm in the process of installing a system in my new car.

(My old one got rear ended and totalled a month ago.. stereo survived though, thank god!)

Anyway, for the front speakers - I have an extra amp, and an electronic adjustable crossover I'm not using.

Should I be bi-amping? Is it worth it?

If anyone has any experience with bi-amping, I'd love to hear your story.

IMO bi-amping is not worth the setup and tuning trouble for car audio unless you are competing. Use your spare amp to add a set of front mid-bass speakers...

It also depends on whether your front speakers are even capable of bi amping. I used my old Orion HCCA 425 to Bi-amp a set of Orion Cobalt 6.5 coaxials and I was really happy with the end result but it definalty is a big pain in the ass to get set up properly.
