Bi amp pros out there I could use some help! First time Bi Amping...

The thing is, to bi-amp using the internal speaker-level x/o is to not reap some of the major benefits of bi-amping: keeping the woofer frequencies out of the m/t amp, eliminating the effect of the woofer's emf on the m/t drivers (they remain electrically connected through the x/o), etc. May as well just bi-wire, in the opinion of some.

I totally understand where your going, but it’s obvious or not in tune with what the OP is capable or wanting to do.
It’s his thread so lets keep it to his speed., he has a bruiser of an amp for the bass and a delicate amps for the mid and highs, and he simply needed to passively bi-amp them.

Ah, NOW I get it George. As usual I was thinking in perfectionist terms; gotta keep the op more in mind.

REALLY GUYS!!! Gonna "Nube me in third person" as my son calls it on Fortnight and Minecraft. LOL. Allgood and sorry to cause a ruckus. I really do appreciate all the feedback. Ive wasted money and hope to more well informed decisions in the future. Hence going to the Old pros...

*Allgood

My perception over the years is that many members here have achieved good results with horizontal passive biamp configurations. I recognize that in general a vertical passive biamp configuration, using identical amps, is likely to be preferable from a sonic standpoint. And that inserting an active crossover ahead of the amps can **potentially** provide added benefits, while at the same time creating opportunity for error that would compromise the results. And that removing the internal crossover of the speakers (if practical) can **potentially** provide further added benefits, while also creating greatly increased opportunity for error that would lead to poor results. And that in many and probably most cases a well-chosen single-amp approach can provide better results than all of the above, while at the same time minimizing opportunity for error.

In this case the OP **already has the amps,** and as I explained earlier the configuration he described in his original post would avoid the various technical pitfalls that can arise when passively biamping with different amps. Others have recommended a KISS approach. It seems to me that under the circumstances biamping as the OP described in his original post would in fact be a KISS approach, as George also indicated. Which as I say corresponds to an approach that has been successfully used by more than a few members here.
