How'z this work

Probably a dumb quedtion, but I can't figure out exactly how my speakers work.
My mains are an old pair of RT2000s and I'm trying to figure out what the built-in amp does when you're running the speakers in a standard, single wired configuration with the brass jumpers in place.
Is my amp alone feeding all of the drivers, or is the internal amp alone feeding the low-base woofer, or is the internal amp somehow boosting the signal to the low-base woofer ?

I've liked the results that I've gptten in the past running a line level input to the speaker's RCA input and removing the jumpers, but that's less practical with my current DSP ( Outlaw 990) Than it was with my old Denon 3801. Would bi-wiring have any effect in this situation?

A lot of questions for 3 paragraphs, can anyone help?

    I have not owned a pair of these, but I believe that the built-in amp powers the two 8" woofers while the binding posts power the mid and tweeter. Bi-wiring always brings out the best in speakers, especially in the bass department. (Just don't forget to remove the jumpers like I did once...)
