    Yes, "bi-amping", again.....but what will happen when doing this..?

    A speaker brand that do not have 2 pairs of binding posts "can't" be bi-amped, right. Now, what will happen if you were to use two identical power amps, one for the left speaker and one for the right speaker. The two + terminals on the "left" amp is connected to the + terminal on the speaker and the two - terminals connected to the - terminal on the speaker. The amps are not bridged...

    Any knowledge on what will happen?

    Regards........to the amp?

    Blue smoke...maybe.....?

    or more watts to the speaker...???
    Regards :T,

    Boom....a.k.a...."The Box"

    If they are mono amps, it will accomplish nothing except effectively doubling the thickness and cost of wire. If they are stereo amps and you are using the terminals of both channels, one channel will shunt the output of the other leading to disaster.
