    1. Remove the "shorting bar" from the speaker terminals.
    2. Connect 1 pair of speaker wires from the amp to the top 2 posts of the speaker, observing proper polarity. This is your mid/high feed.
    3. Connect a second pair of speaker wires from the amp (speaker "B" or from the same post as the first run if you don't have speaker "B" connections) to the bottom posts of the speaker, observing polarity. This is your woofer(s) feed.

    You're bi-wired!

    A man who asks a question is dumb for 2 minutes.
    A man who never asks a question is dumb forever.

    No such thing as a dumb question!

    Simple, B stock is not A stock.

    It means it has a defect (cosmetic) from the factory, but performs flawlessly. It could be a dent or scratch, so you have to decide if you can live with a imperfection to save a few bucks.
