I have a question for you guys. I have read about bi-wiring and tri-wiring speakers and was wondering how to connect the wires to the receiver/amplifier. I know that the speaker must be capable of bi-wiring, but on the other end, do both wires connect to the same terminal? Meaning if I have a bi-wireable center channel, I just connect both wires to the center channel terminal and will not need to amplifier sources?

Yes, connect to same amplifier terminal to bi-wire. If you use two different amplifier channels, then that's bi-amping. This is, I guess, the "next level" after bi-wiring, but of course needs twice the amplifier.

Hello,
I was wondering if I can "Bi-Amp" my center speaker with the front center and back center terminals on the Outlaw?
Thanks

Sorry, mglodfelter, the back center doesn't produce the same signal, so you'd get different info to your center. ------------------ gonk -- Saloon Links | Pre/Pro Comparison Chart

Might sound kinda funky. Seriously, though; Gonk has a good point. In order for bi-amping to work properly, you want both channels to have the same signal. Most often accomplished with a Y-connector between the pre/pro and the two amplifier channels. ------------------ Matthew J.
