Advice: spare channels for bi-wiring

Hi everyone,
I currently have a 2 channel and a 5 channel power amp for a total of 7 channels. I use the 2 channel for my front speakers for music.

For home theater I use the 5 channel amp to drive my center, and rears. I use the same 2 channel amp for the fronts. This leaves me with 2 spare channels (on the 5 channel amp). Since my center channel can be bi-wired, would it make a difference to use a spare channel to bi-wire by center speaker? My surround processor does have 2 center channel outputs. Any advice would be appreciated.

Same here. 2 channel amp for the mains. 5 channel amp for the surround/center/and subwoofer experiments) 1 and 2 of 5 biamp the center. 3 and 4 of 5 for the L/R surrounds. Thats leaves the fifth channel for whatever. I am currently messing around with passive subs.

I bought a DH LABs BL-1 1meter RCA Y cable from A 'gon member "Drubrew," nice cable, great price. I am pretty sure he still makes them.
