The four terminals on the back of the Polk RTi10
I am aware that two set of terminals are go to the tweeters and the other two go to the woofers (I think thats right). So if I connect the spekaer wire that goes to the woofers will I get more bass? If this is, which set goes the woofers, the top or bottom.

I think if ur useing just a reciever it would not matter. The main purpose for the 2 is if your useing an amp...Marantz 1607 - Polk S60 - S35 - Emotiva XPA-3 - Polk DSWPRO550wi

It won't make a dfference.
You might get a bit of improved sound if you take off the jumper and use a small piece of your speaker cable to connect the two sets of terminals. Opinions vary on this.
And I believe the top is tweeter, bottom is woofer...could be wrong though.Things work out best for those who make the best of the way things work out.-John Wooden -

You are correct, the top is the tweeter, the bottoms is the woofers. I heard taking the metal jumpers off and using speaker cable will make a difference in sound, there is a thread on here about it. Read into it.Shoot the jumper.....................BALLIN.............!!!!!

Top two = tweeter.
Bottom two = all other "speakers" within speaker.
If you want to improve bass, work with the bottom set of binding posts.
Were you planning on verticle/horizontal bi-amping?~ In search of accurate reproduction of music. Real sound is my reference and while perfection may not be attainable? If I chase it, I might just catch excellence. ~ -

Can you give me the link please? And how is there a difference sound, clarity? -
What I have been thinking of doing is running 2 12 gage cables from the amp to each speaker and attaching one to the top and one to the bottom. This is just an extra cable in parrallel to each other, not bi-amping the speakers. Being in parallel, it should, theoretically, cut the cable resistence in half.
Anyone have any experience with this. -

This is becoming WAY more complicated than it needs to be....Hook the damn cable up to the Low Feq. binding posts, and crimp a few spades onto the ends of a couple of short leads of speaker cable to hook the pos. and neg. posts together....Same result, a hell of a lot less complicated.... -
Why not just make it even simpler and run one set of wires to each speaker and use the jumpers. With a typical receiver, you are unlikely to derive any discernable benefit from biwiring them. Now if you want to utilize an external amp(s), then you could get fancier.Monitor Audio GR 60, GR10, GRLCR
