Help with polk audio rti 4?
I have a pair of polk audio rti 4's and they are capable of being bi-amped/ bi-wired seeing that they have two sets of terminals on the back. I dont have the money for an amp so i want to know if this setup is sufficent enough. i have speaker wire connected to both terminals of the speakers and when they come into the receiver an onky 605 via banna plugs and the left and right top of the speakers go into the front input on the receiver and the bottom termials go into surround please let me know if this is a good setup or if im in danger of blowing something up
so then do i connect it to the top or bottom? There is a gold bar between both terminals and i forgot to mention i also have a center rti a 4
if im not mistaken, those two terminals are for an internal crossover. The speakers should have come with a gold connector so that you can run one pair(positive and negative) to one speaker, and another to the other speaker for stereo, and the internal crossover will send the highs to the tweeters, and the lows to the woofers. if you use it the way you have it set up, you will hear a distinct sound difference in that the front sounds will be very high, and the surround sound(which you might not even hear)...would be very low.
you are better off just running one wire, connecting the two plugs, and run the receiver in stereo mode until you get surround speakers.
** it doesn't matter which terminal you hook it up to, the gold bar allows the signal to go to both. so, you could hook it up to the bottom ones and top terminals will get the signal too. Just make sure you run the speaker wire from the front left and front right speaker outputs. the surround left and surround right output on the receiver go to speakers that are set up behind you, for the surround sound.
the center speaker just gets hooked up the center channel output on the back of your receiver.
