All you need to do is run two wires from the 1075 front left and surround left to the speaker. Then you need to Y the interconnection from your pre to the Front and Surround inputs on the 1075. Then do the same for the right. Then you will have the speakers bi-amped.

Bi-wired is running two different wires from the same connection on the amp to the two different connections on the speaker. You can either make one yourself, or but a true bi-wire speaker wire...

Not to split hairs, but true bi-amping would be to run an active crossover between the pre out and main in on the power amp. This seperates the high/ low frequencies so this is all each of the channels has to amplify b-4 driving the speakers. Thru this previously mentioned bi-amp configuration you still realy upon the passive components in the speakers crossover to pass/ dump the frequencies it is intended to deal with. In terms of overall efficiancy,(sound per pound if you will) active consumes less than passive.

Yes, soundhound is right, but most people don't use active crossovers, so this is all more a psuedo bi-amping.
