Bi-amping a pair of speakers basically entails adding a power amplifier to your system so that your integrated amplifier drives the tweeter units whilst the power amplifier drives the bass units. This ensures that the speakers are driven more efficiently which in turn will produce a greatly improved sound. Bi-wiring on the other hand simply means bypassing the crossover unit on the speaker so that the speaker cable goes directly into the bass and tweeter units.

There is no easy answer to this, but as a general rule for best results (less power loss) you should use the heaviest gauge wire as is practical, especially for the longer speaker runs. For short runs you could use lighter cable. But don’t let this be the weak link in your audio system. See similar questions...

I just removed one yesterday from the junk yard. It's the same procedure Matt D listed below. Just remove the the rear seat enough to lift the rear deck lid up around the speakers. There are three clips and three 8 mm bolts. I removed all three bolts and two clips. Then I went to the trunk and carefully pulled the speaker and amp assembly down. If you simply need to remove the speaker, that is even easier and can be done solely from the trunk. - /Bryan (91 SE), 6/16/01. See similar questions...

If the speaker are rated for 400 watts peak and are 8 ohms, then you can use an amp that is 400 watts (peak) per channel @ 8 ohms (an 800 watt amp). You can use a lower wattage amp, but you will be limited by the amp. You can also technically use a higher wattage amp, just don't use it a higher volumes which would drive the speaker over its wattage limit and potentially blow the speakers. See similar questions...

This can be a long answer, but to keep it simple; each speaker has a load resistance usually given in ohms. When you add speakers in parallel, jumping one to another, it lowers the ohms by half (i.e. - adding two 8 ohms speakers is a 4 ohm load on the amp). So back to the question; if in the amplifier specs it gives you the wattage for a certain load (Ohms), it is safe to run the amp at that level per channel. See similar questions...

Each speaker is uniquely designed, timbre matched, and seamlessly coordinated in its own system; in order to ensure the most impressive sonic attribute and true cinema experience, we strongly encourage you to mix & match only in the same series of speakers. If your order includes 5 speakers, and one subwoofer, you are entitled to receive a set discount. See similar questions...

On the rear of every amplifier there are either one or multiple output jacks. The outputs vary by model, but typically will be in the form of RCA, Speakon, Balanced XLR, and Banana binding post. Simply choose the output type on your amplifier and connect it to the input on your speaker. See similar questions...

No. Using instrument cable to hook up your speakers can cause intermittent power loss, cause your amp to oscillate and damage the amp and/or your speakers. Please use 18 gauge cable or heavier (16, 14, or 12). See similar questions...

You can use amplifiers made by other makers, but the transitional characteristics of ECLIPSE system components, including the amplifier, are all optimised to faithfully reproduce the characteristics of the source sound. From this point of view, it is better to use an Eclipse amplifier. See similar questions...

There are many schools of thought on this subject. Linn for example say that more should be spent on the source (CD player, Turntable) and less on the amplification or speakers. We on the other hand tend to think that balance is best; basically spend the same on each component. By doing this if you decide to upgrade your hi-fi at any time in the future you will know that your system will always be balanced. Also by balancing your system the features on your equipment.

You need a DPDT switch. Wire it as shown in the diagram at http://aga.rru.com/FAQs/Images/par-ser-spkr.gif . Make sure you get one capable of handling the current you're likely to see in your speaker cab. I'd go with at least a 5A switch. The overall rating is what matters, not the switching rating. You should never be flipping this switch while the speakers are being played through! See similar questions...

The wire is 39 inches (1 meter) long and per MIL-W-16878 (TFE insulation). One is red, plus (+) voltage and one is black (ground). See similar questions...

There are two types of relays that are commonly used in 12-volt automotive applications: Single-pole Double Throw (SPDT) relays, which have 5 pins, and Single Pole, Single Throw (SPST) relays, which have 4 pins. Depending on the application, you can use either of these; for remote turn-on leads (see Section 5.11), an SPST relay is fine, SPDT relays are often used in alarm installations. Make sure that you get a 12-volt relay - this specifies the voltage required to make the relay "switch. See similar questions...

While the Ruby, Little Gem, and Little Gem MkII practice amps can be used with any speakers, best results are achieved with full-size speakers intended for use with guitar amps. The amps will work well with an total impedance of 4, 8, or 16 ohms. We've tried hi-fi speakers, clock-radio speakers, and auto speakers - they just can't cut it. For me, using anything other than a speaker designed for the frequencies of an electric guitar produced sounds more like a toy than an actual amp. See similar questions...

You need to take a few things into account here, the wattage of the existing amp and the total wattage of the existing speakers. As long as the amp wattage stays above the total speaker wattage after the additional speakers, there is no need to upgrade. Of course the other thing is weather the new speakers are to be zoned separately and if there is that availability on the existing amp. See similar questions...

No. The JDV is not a load box. This means that you must connect the amp to a load 1st (like a speaker) and then you can connect the JDV to the load. See similar questions...

No. Using instrument cables to connect your speakers can result in intermittent power loss, amp oscillation and speaker damage, as well as rendering the cables useless for any purpose. We recommend using 18-gauge or heavier speaker cables. See similar questions...
