tips on bi-amping for newbie

[pyonc]

This means that the passive crossover in the box is at 300Hz, if you bi-amp you must set the EC at frequency that is higher than 300hz.
I do bi-amp my big SR system, I use an EC set at 100hz to feed the sub and the mains are passive.

Got you! Thanks for the easy explanation.

Thanks for your input Widget ...

you have a far greater understanding than I on this subject . I was trying to help based on my experience - experience gleaned from many hours trawling, asking questions here, and trying to implement that advise .

Just go for it!

Have a listen and make up your own mind if it was worth it or not. You are going to have fun doing it as long as you don't cook something so take your time.

Thanks, Rob. I'd rather be cautious before jumping right into bi-amping at this point, even though it's worth it.

Thanks for the info. Actually I recently bought 5233, 5234 on ebay without knowing at all about the exact function of this twin. The reason I purchased them was I read in JBL material that dividing network like this was necessary for biamplification of 4343. Just for the sake of future use. The 5233 shows 800HZ, and the 5234 shows 500HZ on the left, and 1200HZ on the right. I'm not sure what this is all about. Frankly, I regret buying them...
