    Speakers Ruined?
    If I have a 100 W amp and two 400 W speakers and I bi-wired them to the amp, but forgot to remove the metal bridge, will my speakers be ruined??

    i doubt it, as long as you are bi-wiring using the same taps on your amp.

    same taps?
    is that the same places where the wires are connected?
    because I used seperate ones for each set of wire

    you didn't need to post a new thread. Try to stick to one thread per issue.

    And you speakers are fine. Ether your amp doesn't have enough power or it isn't working properly.

    Let's get real, shall we?
    Lessee... A newbie who proclaims total ignorance of the subject, yet somehow seems to be familiar with biwiring?

    You're not really to get help with a problem, are you?

    I doesn't matter if the jumpers are left in. The two '+' wires are connected together at the receiver end. Having the + jumper still installed will appear as a single wire between the receiver and speaker, The same with the '-' side. Removing the bi-wire jumper just seperates the high-pass xover components from the low-pass xover components.
