Bi-amping Snell Speakers Anyone?

I have recently bi-amped my system and the mids and hi's seemed to overpower the low end. The amps are identical so I just turned the volume down on the mid /hi amp. Is this normal in some systems or in a more perfect setup should I be making other tweaks to get the volume set on max for both?

Thanks for the suggestion Bob reynolds. I have moved the wiring so that one channel of each amp runs the top end while the other channel runs the bottom. Sounds good but I still have the mid/hi channels turned down about 2 clicks.I will do some more testing and will read up on the active crowwover info.

Dear Blueskiespbd: In what may seem to be an attempt to toss the cat among the pigeons, I can assure you that this question may seem a moot point, but I some of us are anxious to hear the answer. Did you physically remove the passive crossover in your speaker cabinets or did you leave them in and simply bypass the parts?

RE: Bob
the amps do have volume controls for each channel. I am currently doing some testing tonight with the Rives cd and my SPL meter to replot the curve from my original baseline since I have moved the speakers and made some other tweaks. What frequency shoud I use for the test you are thinking of?

Re; Bach
The current crossovers are untouched. The snells I believe us woffers in parallel so I do not know if active crossovers would make much of a difference?
