Bi-Wiring
Hello All,
I have a 4 channel Alpine MVR-F340 amp. I am only using 2 of the channels to run my front speakers.
My questions are when you send the 35 watts to the crossover of the component speakers, does it split up the wattage to the mids and tweets? Sort of like both getting 17.5 watts each?
If I bi-Wire them, which they are able to do, with all 4 channels, then they will all get 35 watts (all tweets and mids) Is that correct?
Is this a good way of doing it or should I bridge the channels instead?

That is an option I have considered, but would the THD effect the SQ?

Bi wiring and ditching your passive Xover would have some advantages... but bridging the amp and running the passive would too (you will probably find you have much more power available for the mid)
I would try both and see what you like best....
