Wiring two post speakers with biwire cable


I have speakers with one pair of binding posts each. My amp has four binding posts for each channel (biwiring capable).

I have a set of biwire cables (one end has two terminations, + and -, the other end has four, two + and two -).

Is is safe to connect all four terminations at the end of this cable to the two posts on each speaker, or should I leave one set of + and - unconnected? What if I connected the four termination end to the amp and the two termination end to the speaker?

I don't want to run into any problems with running cables in parallel, messing with impedance, etc. Thanks.

For this proposal to make sonic sense, don't the speakers have to be already set up for bi-wiring, ie have an internal cross-over built in to accomodate it? I can see why you could attach the wires as proposed, but can't see any advantage to it without the internal crossover. Craig
