Soliloquy and bad crossovers

Hi Cody. Sorry you are having frustration. With regards to biwiring, you need to first remove the jumpers. If the jumpers are not in place, you have a problem right there. I am going to assume you know what these are.

In any case, as long as your positive and negatives are hooked up correctly, I dont think it matters which way you go. The biwiring separates frequencies along a signal path, nothing more. The signal frequencies themselves will wind up in the right place if you want to think of it that way. Hence the term crossover.

I do not know which city you are in ( if a city at all), but perhaps a second pait of Soliloquy-familiar ears can render an opinion on this. If there is a problem, perhaps you can return the speakers to place of origin. It's a shame about all of this. Hopefully it will turn out well for you.

OK. I am gonna be dumb here; you say that the tweeter is below the bass drivers? Perhaps this is a VERY old model ( that might not be bad), but I have never seen any 5.3s other than a tweeter on top layout. SO here's my really dumb question- Are you sure these are SOliloquy speakers?

Just thought I'd ask.

OK. Did a little snooping. There are pictures from 2001 clearly showing the tweeter above the drivers. In addition, 2004 was the first cabinet redesign in 5 years, at least according to the website, and the company formed in 1997. SO either you have the very first ones built ( probable) or they aren't Soliloquy speakers. (Unlikely but possible)

I think that the speaker is a totally different animal from what is generally talked about; I'm thinkin return- 30 day return policy?

Whew! I am relieved to hear all of this. Good work!
