crexrun Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 hello, I was just wondering about the hookup on my KP-301s. They have dual sets of banana plugs, and I'm assuming that it's for the Woof on one set and the mid/tweet on the other. There are 2 fuses, and 2 1/4" ins as well, and I was wondering if bi-amping is possible. Most home speakers I've seen have removeable ext. bridges that you remove when biamping. these, however, have jumpers soldered in on the inside, so you would have to cut that jumper to bi-amp, correct? If you hooked up 2 amps with them connected, I wouldn't think that would be very amp friendly. Any help would be appreciated, Crexrun PS, they are currently hooked up with the lower set, but it makes no difference if it's top or bottom, I checked. Thanks!

Klipsch Employees Trey Cannon Posted January 16, 2006 Klipsch Employees Share Posted January 16, 2006 True, To bi amp you will need to cut or remove the 2 red wires between the upper and lower set of bindingpost. the xover will still be in play and the HF will have protection as it does now.

crexrun Posted January 17, 2006 Author Share Posted January 17, 2006 Thanks a lot Trey, I was pretty sure that was the scoop, just wanted to make sure. I don't think I'll need to be bi-amping these things anytime soon in a Home environment, but it's nice to know that I can!

126mhz Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 I am the porud owner of a pair of KP 301's that I use in my basemant system. (They are strapped to the ceiling) I change out several amplifiers and pre amp combos with them. On this system I usually play my old favorite rock and roll, (Zep,, The Who, ect.) with very high gain, they really can shake the house. Great Speakers,...and bullet proof! Good luch with yours, I will keeping mind for life! Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crexrun Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 Likewise, I have no plans to get rid of these. I would like to find another pair for a great HT as well as music, but I don't think I can find a pair as clean as these. Thanks for the reply, Crexrun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 For the record...the other advantage to the dual binding posts is it makes it way easier to run speakers in parallel. In fact, I had no clue that they also prewired it for biamping until Trey mentioned it...just another example of cool klipsch engineering [] (Now I wonder how many other PA speakers I've worked with that were wired the same way) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
