    but the wireless sub looks promising but do you know if rotuers interfere? as there are over 40 that are in range and wreak havoc on my 2.4 and 5 ghz channels

    I just recomend the WI subs because they are the same as the regular DSW Pro's but have an amplifier that has 2x the watts.
    AVR: Onkyo Tx-NR808
    Amplifier: Carver A-753x 250 watts x 3
    Fronts: Polk RTI A7 (modded by Trey VR3)
    Center: CSI A4 (modded by Trey VR3)
    Rear: FXI A4
    Sub: Polk DSW Pro 660wi
    TV: LG Infinia 50PX950 3D
    Speaker Cable: AudioQuest Type 8
    IC: AudioQuest Black Mamba II

    That would be bi amping but insead of using individual mono block amps your using 4 channles from a single 5 channel amp. It really isnt worth it unless you put an active cross over inbetween your AVR and Amplifier. That way you dont send amplified low freq in to the mid range and tweeter and so you dont amplify and send high freq in to the woofer sections. With no active cross over your sending a full range frequencys in to the amp and then in to each section. Where if you had one you would only be sending the lows to the woofers and highs to the mid and tweeter.

    Bi Wiring is when your run 2 sets of wires from one set of terminals on the amp and make 4 connections on the back of the speaker. You would only be using one amplifier channel per speaker, just doubling up on the wires. So with an XPA 5 you only use 2 channels to bi wire and would have 3 left over.

    You can buy or make Single bi wire speaker cables. They have 2 banana plugs (one POS, and one NEG) on one end and 4 on the other (two POS, and two NEG). That way you only have one speaker wire runing to one speaker. It is pretty much just haveing a Y on one end of your speaker cables. That way in order to eliminate the gold jumpers you dont have to have the short pice of speaker wire conecting the two POS, and two Neg terminals.

    awesome clear as mud, jk, very clear, i'll just drop the bridges and use wire jumpers
    ty for the wealth of information

    Trey rebuilt the cross overs. He replaced the capacitors and resistors with higher quality ones.
