Original speaker suppled with unit set up & matched, setting up your own speakers is a MINEFIELD. Best of luck.

Testimonial: "Thanks for your immediate response! However in this case I am already in the middle of that minefield since the purchase was without speakers!"

It can be possible to bi-amp a pair of Klipsch RB-81 with this receiver for stereo listening, and if yes, how...

Bi-amping indicated that you have two amps, one for the tweeters, adn another for the woofer, in a two way system. If you don't have two seperate amps, you can use the speaker A & B outputs to run seperate speaker llines to each set of speaker inputs, but that will not be true bi-amping. Another alternative is to use jumpers to connect the speaker inputs together, this not needing seperate amps. Here's a link to the owner's manual:

Can i use front output A and B to bi amp my wharfedale 9.5s

Technically, yes, but the same audio would be traveling across the two pairs of wires that would be arriving via a single pair to the jumpered speakers. NO electrical difference.

Read up on bi-amping and by-wiring (BUY-wiring) before pursuing that path. The underlying presumption of an improvement from either is that there are deficiencies in your system to begin with. It's all snake oil designed to sell cables and amps.

The category of the vehicle may determine the positioning of speakers within interior either different with sedans, SUVs or single cabin trucks. However, tuning on the vehicle stereo should ascertain the location areas of sound speakers within the vehicle. The speakers may total four for most dual cabin vehicles, or two speakers for single cabin pickup trucks. Unless the vehicle original speakers were malfunctioning alternate procedures are least required. For example, a damaged speaker may require changing for an alternate acquirable at retail. However, speakers are sold in pairs to achieve coordination of sound requiring for the technician to request for purchase parts in pairs.

PHASE 2

GETTING FAMILIAR WITH SPEAKER TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

The stereo speakers have an entrapment space at each area within the vehicle next to passenger's doors. Acquiring accessibility to the speaker coil requires unfastening the plastic covers or interior insulation. Once unfastening cover, the speaker is exposed requiring unfastening also to dismantle from docking station within the door lodging. The speaker comes loose making possible observation for repairs or replacement parts. The area a vehicle speaker is situated may require an alternate arrangement to achieve accessibility. For example, a sedan car rear speaker is accessible at the luggage truck. Single cabin trucks may have stereo speakers at dashboard corners next to the windshield and air space window spaces at doors. An observation of the speaker area within the vehicle should acquire the tools, and compartments that have to be unfastened before speaker come loose.

Observing the broken components would provide details of kinds usually as fastening, unfastening or mending, gripping proposes. Car stereo repairs involve electrical circuits requiring tool separate than the mechanical tools for loosening screws or compartments.

PHASE 5

PERFORMING THE REPLACEMENT

The vehicle requires workshop environments to achieve successful technical restorations. Unless any technical malfunctions were observed complementary to the stereo system speaker repairs, the procedures involve removing and replacing component parts to attain regular functionality. Usually, the process of restoring damaged components requires caution to attain success without compromising the integrity of delicate components.

Do not know how to connect my kappa 60.5cs to my pioneer cd player do they have to go through an external amp?what do i do with the power plugs on the oppisite side why are there 2 per speaker

You need to run RCA cables from the CD player to the CD or AUX input on your amp / receiver unit. If you have a standalone amp, you need some way to control the volume. Basically, if you have a volume control on the front of your amp, you're OK. If not, you should also have a preamplifier that the CD player feeds first.

From the amplifier, then, a single pair of speaker outputs feeds a single pair of inputs on your speakers. The reason for two jack sets on the speakers is for "bi-wiring" or "bi-amping", not necessary for basic stereo reproduction.

So -

CD red/white RCA out -> preamp/receiver red/white CD/AUX input. Amp speaker output (red + / black -) to one red/black input pair on the speakers. An input on the speaker is side by side...

Keep the red to red, black to black when connecting the speakers, or you will wind up with poor sound and weak bass.

How do i bi amp sx 1250 to get both channels of each side to work together

you are actually not bi-amping the unit, you are bridging the amp. this really only works as long as all channels produce equal power. next the bad news is that typically home stereo amps are not wired internally to bridge channels.

bi-amping a speaker refers to connecting on channel to the highs and on channel to the lows. the receiver would need to be be able to process the outputs via a crossover network to split the frequency range in half so the appropriate frequencies went to the correct speaker.

Simply crimp each to the correct corresponding wire. You may have a few extra.. the antenna power, or the radio mute.. just cap the ends of these..

I have had a set of Polk Audio SDA1 speakers that I had attached to an old but great Pioneer SPEC-1 pre-amp and SPEC-2 power amp. The old speakers had one connection for the right speaker positive and...

bi-wiring requires the removal of the copper jumpers between the hi and low speaker terminals. you can use two wire pairs twisted together at amp out connections and the four separate ends at each speaker, but the quality of sound will not be as good as buying quality bi-wire cables. But a pair of quality single set of wires at each speaker would be fine, but put jumpers back on and attach to the top terminals, they are designed that way. bi-wiring does allow the crossover to put out a little better sound. Hooking up four sets of wires to the a and b speaker terminals sounds bad. i have had alot of trouble with my rti10's and learned the hard way that it is best to pay more for wires with quality terminations.
