Questions about RTiA9 and CSiA6 crossovers

On each of these speakers, which drivers are assigned to which binding posts?

RTiA9 - I'm assuming the 3 bass drivers are off the bottom posts and the two midranges and tweeter off of top posts. Is that correct?

CSiA6 - not really sure

Appreciate any input you could provide.

    The top posts are for the tweeters only.

    Ah that's too bad. I guess there is no benefit to bi-amping them since that tweeter only pulls what, a few watts. Regardless I'm guessing 200W from a Monolith amp should be good enough for them.

    Hello BjornB17, :)
    I just saw this Post.
    I also just read your post on you are changing brands..

    Maybe you are still interested about the RTiA9 Binding Posts.

    I bought the Polk Audio A9s..
    I, too, wanted to know.
    So I tried hooking up one Speaker post at a time..

    I'm not sure about the CSiA6, but, the RTi A9s :
    The top Set Post are for the Two MIds and Tweeter.
    The Bottom Post Set goes to the 3 Woofers.

    I am going to Bi Amp my A9s.
    Waiting for the 2nd Amp and SCHIIT AUDIO LOKI to arrive.

    MC 7100 ( 100w/Ch ) is way more than enough to drive either Sets.
    Too loud with the Volume control at 1/2 turn..

    Not without an active crossover you aren't.

    CSi A6 - yes. I’m one of the few that have been inside.

    Can’t help w/some ‘A9 details such as an A6 detail. Each mid XO’d to the tweeter at a different frequency: 1.5 hz & 3.8hz. The A9 mids may follow suit.

    Alton, I conditionally applaud your efforts 😊.
    I’d give each speaker their own amp😊😊

    1. IF you’re gonna bypass (remove) the LP to the woofers and the HP to the mids.
    2. textbook bi-amping, tri-amping is so much more than a louder system, believe me
    3. a VERY flexible tone control, or rather more accurately, an EQ is easy an external fix, but trust me on two fronts, as F1 alludes, the problem and the solution is the CROSSOVER* components*. Take it from me the RTi tweeter isn’t bad sounding - by itself. Upgrade* or remove** those* you’ll be MUCH happier.
    *several reports well worth it; plenty of available advice
    **see #2 plus upgrade a cap & resistor filtering tweeter

    Back in my car stereo days, and more recently messing w/pro gear, no amount EQ***, regardless of its quality and level of sophistication*** w/ make up for, in your case, cheap XO parts.
    ***full parametric EQ allowing extreme adjustments

    I’ve traveled* the (EQ) road you’re on. Either upgrade all the XO parts filtering the mids & tweets
    or
    upgrade just tweeter filtering and EXO mids & woofers - in its own way less work
    *Numerous times - consumer & pro

    I’m finished beating the dead 🐎. PM me for EXO guidance
