Double Bi-wire impedance concern

Hi all,
I am going to be redoing some cabling for my speakers (NHT T6.) The top module (M6) I have routed with a pair of cables directly to the terminal cups (avoiding the internal speaker wiring run, if you are familiar with the design of the speaker) The bottom module (B6) has four terminals on the back, My thought is to disconnect the internal wiring from the top posts (that lead to the M6 from the factory) and use jumpers or plates to connect the 4 terminals to a set of double bi-wire cables that would just drive the B6 bass module. The crossover is external (for the bass module) so that won't come in to play. The drivers are 12 ohm but the pair are wired to present a 6 ohm load. If I do the double bi-wire, will I still be seeing the 6 ohm load? 

In a similar question, the M6 has only one set of terminals, but I have a set of single bi-wire cables both hooked to the same binding post. This is also a 6 ohm speaker. Is that still a 6 ohm load?

Thanks in advance for any help - it's a pretty complex system and I want to make sure everything is OK and optimized best I can.

The top pair of binding posts are strictly a pass-through that goes to an upper terminal where the monitor connects. I already have that disabled (up top.) I would disconnect it completely from the upper pair of binding posts (down low) to ensure that there would be no possibility of a short. 

Good to know that  the impedance will stay the same. That was my main concern. The amplifiers should be two ohm stable, but I wanted to be certain before changing the cabling. Thanks for the response Elizabeth!
