Rti12 hookup advice

edossin4

Just need a little advice on distributing the power to my rti12's and the rest of my system. I have an Onkyo tx sr805 receiver, an Adcom gfa 545 and a gfa 555.

Should I bi amp the rti12's with the adcoms. Using the 545 driving the high end and the 555 for the low? And then use the onkyo to drive the center and surrounds. Or use the 555 for the rti12's, the 545 for the center, and the onkyo for the surrounds?

I also have a Psw120. I probably don't need it anymore because of the new rti12's but I can't bear to part with it. I was planning on hooking that up to the LFE output on the Onkyo.

Very subjective,,,I have 12's that are bi-amped with Adcoms on both ends of the speaker...Some will say not to bi-amp,some will say go for it.

This set up works for me,but they are in a HT only...I'd say,bi-amp and use the Onkyo to power the rest of your speakers...Try different hook-ups and hear for yourself,just remember that if you bi-amp,remove the metal straps from the binding posts.

I have the 12's also and I didnt biamp them all I did was jump the 12 gauge wire on both post using a cinenova grande and it sound great
