    Buona fortuna

    I think we are talking about this:

As mentioned in the other thread I noticed an improvement in biamp mode removing it out of the path, hope you did too
    sorry, but does this switch have a value ( ampere ...) ?

    Yes it has value if you intend to biamp the speakers.

    The rating of the switch contacts in amps.

    I have know idea but I would imagen that if you burnt up the switch the speakers and crossovers would be toast.

    1. For simplicity can l suggest the following bi amp switch bypass on the above schematic
    with red circles.
    Connect the low amp + input terminal direct to the woofer+ terminal

    Using new wires soldered to the input terminals and the switch set to external:
    Connect the low amo - input terminal direct to the woofer - terminal

    2. Connect the internal + input terminal to the input wire of the 1.7 mH choke per the schematic
    Connect the internal - input terminal to the Lpad tab 1.

    This will eliminate touching the switch terminals and simplify the task.

    If you intend to continue with a full passive crossover build a new network and re wire. These old networks were never intended to be diy friendly.

    hi Warpig, sorry I meant for a power signal ( ohm ), not a line signal, to create a passive bi-amplification. How many amps does the rotary switch need before entering the passive crossovers so as not to burn the components. A while ago I saw a modification by Luxman that put a 20A rotary switch. Is that right? But the switch that I am attaching what value does it have?

    Not sure what you are attempting to do. Also I am not that technical of a person. I had no intentions of Biamping the 4343B speakers that's the reason for bypassing the switch. I left the switch in place with wire attached so if anyone wanted to reattach the switch it would be simple. If Luxman changed out the switch perhaps he is the best person to ask.
