running 2 of the same amps into 1 pair of speakers [ first watt J2's]
Iam confused about what you’re trying to do. Are you speakers biampable?   Crøss Talk benefits are the main issue. Maybe some more info on what you’re exactly doing and what types of speakers and amplifiers are you using. I’m trying to figure o...
