BIAMPING


Its me again - SFrounds, Need help on biamping questions.

Stupid question#1
Why is it that an amp rated at 125 wpc can deliver 400 watts mono, why wouldn't it be 250?

Now for the rest of these questions, lets say I have two of these identical amps, and a pair of speakers that can be biwired.

Hopefully - not as stupid question#2
What is the best way to wire these amps?

(A)Have one amp wired to supply the low frequencies on each of the right and left channel speakers, and one amp wired to supply the high frequencies on each of the left and right channel speakers.(at 125 wpc each)

(B)Have the amps wired mono at 400 wpc with one amp biwired to the right channel speaker and the other amp biwired to the left channel speaker.

(C) none of the above or other recommended option.

Thanks again, (Don't worry I can Take abuse very well)

I've heard recommendations from 'experts' for both Bi-amp techniques, as well as not even bi-wiring (to round out the ridiculous to the sublime). What I've heard, and I am no expert, is to bi-amp across (one multi-channel amp doing lowering amplification) another multi-channel amp doing the high side. Oddly, like getting two psychiatrists to agree which one is crazy, there are only questions, no dead correct answers.
