Bi-wiring?

A friend gave me a pair of meadowlark kestrels hotrods. There are 4 post on back of the speakers, 2 for tweeters, 2 for bass woofers. How is bi-wiring done? I have them piggybacked from +tweeter to +bass, -tweeter to -bass. Any harm in wiring them like this? If so, how exactly does one bi-wire? Thanks in advance!

I got a pair of Kimber 8PR very cheap.  Spades on the amp side and bare on the speaker side.  Separated the black and brown wires into a 3/5 configuration 3-tweeter, 5 for the woofer on my Ref 3A de Capos.  Does it sound better who knows but it does sound good and i got to 15ft runs with WBT spades for 120.00

you have a wonderful friend !,,,

great speakers, like most made better by biwiring

you can read about the theory, application etc or just listen.

for best effect get the treble wires 4” away from the bass. This is called an external biwire.

have fun

enjoy the music

Thank you all for your responses. Another question, though- how would bi-wiring look on the amp side?
