Stupid Question about RTI8's wiring

shimey013

Do i bi-wire or just connect the top set, im connecting them directly to my ONK 705. I ask cause im relatively new to this...I was thinkin if im going to bi-wire i need to amp it, but if im just wiring directly i should be ok with just the top. If im wrong please let me know, thanks for the help.

You can go either way with a receiver; if using a non bi-wire cable make sure that the jumpers between top and bottom posts are there. And if you do bi-wire, make sure you take the jumpers out.

I have mine single wired from a receiver and have no reasons to complain.

same here have mine connected to the lower ones, but I did replace the jumpers.

Call me stupid but whats a Jumper?? Im trying to learn while setting up my stuff.

Oh, those metal pieces that connect top and bottom....didnt know they were called jumper...what do they really do??

So since i connected them to the top, i leave the those on right???

Those are the jumpers; they connect binding posts for high and low frequencies; leave them on if you connect one set of wires, either to the upper or lower posts.

Thanks for the help, now i just gotta wait till i can afford the rest of my stuff, btw the RTi8s look amazing, and even just replacing them as fronts i can tell a difference
