When running speaker cables from an amp to RTi10's do i need to connect the cables to all four binding posts on each speaker. Or do I just connect them to either the top two OR lower two binding posts?

Thanks

    If you have the jumpers in place, just connect to the lower two,IMO,otherwise you might want to consider bi-wiring them,,or better yet,, just make some jumpers out of speaker wire,,hope this helps.
    JC approves....he told me so. (F-1 nut)

    As long as the jumpers (metal strip connecting top and bottom binding posts) are in place, you only need to connect to either the top or the bottom posts, not both.

    Huh?

    These are speakers that I bought from sound advice brand new, so the jumpers should be connecting the both the bottom and top binding posts, correct?

    Just look on the speaker's binding post and see if the jumpers are there or not. I have my Studio's biwired because I was given 100ft of Audioquest speaker cables when I bought my speakers.
