sub-raider Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I just bought a pair of yourF-3's to add to my system. Im currently satisfied with my entire setup.Here's there the rundown: Pioneer VSX-1018TXH-K receiver, 910w. PS380(GB). Im running a 6.1, Klipsch sub-12,, F-3's C-2, C-1 (C-1 as backsurround center), and Quintet III. The Quintet III was the existingsystem. The C-1 was the front center, and using the Quintet III centerspeaker as the back surround center. I bought the F-3 's so I obviouslyhad 2 Quintet III surrounds laying around. I noticed the bi-wiringcapabilities on the back panel of the F-3's, so i added the 2 surroundQuintet III speakers to the F-3's. Then i bought the C-2 to upgrade theC-1... My question is, does it matter how i plug in the Quintet IIIfronts to the F-3's? there is a speaker connection for lo, and hi input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortstack31489 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 are you trying to connect the quintet iii's to your f-3 fronts? if so it cannot be done. the biwiring is if you wanted to run two separate sets of speaker wire into one terminal on your receiver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably are, but any way that I can think of how you have them hooked up is presenting an ohm load to your receiver that it was not designed to handle. I don't really understand why you'd want the Quintets running along with your other speakers. They'd get drowned out in a hurry. If your receiver has dual front main speaker outputs (A + you could hook the Quintets up to the B channel although my above statement about them getting drowned out in a hurry would still apply.
