Title: BI-WIRE SPEAKERS
Post by scotspark on Aug 19^th, 2009, 6:12pm

doing a job and guy has asked us to wire his SONOS sound system he has got all the stuff but it hasn't came as a kit.

he has got ceiling mounted speakers from somewhere and this BI-WIRE from somewhere else

it is a flat wire and is 2 2core cables. each has 1 red and 1 white core

speakers just have the usual black and red spring connections

anyone know how to connect them up??

Have the speakers got 4 terminals? A pair for the base and a pair for the tweeter. If not you can't biwire them without taking the speaker apart and changing the cross over unit.

no just 2 terminals I was expecting 4

just had a quick google and as you say it needs speakers with 4 terminals and you remove the link between the 2 pairs

cheers woody
