Duel Cable Connects, How to handle them?

[GreenJelly]

I got 2 sets of Speaker Cable Connects on my B&W 603's. The top set powers the tweaters, and the bottom set powers the subwoofer. I am only going to be using one set of wirers for these speakers. I am not interested in spending money on Cables, though I have no problem going to Radio Shack and buying connects. The problem is, how do you make 1 wire connect to 2 inputs?

The two sets are to facilitate bi-wiring and you know my opinion on that fromt the other thread.

There should be a jumper to connect between the two terminals to tie them together when you don't want to wire the tweeters and woofers separately.

I knew it was for bi-wiring, which I probably have the same opinion of it as you... so what, I get a cloths hanger and twist it around in there?

Where do you get this jumper... Remember, I dont beleive in speaker cable that costs much more then your average lamp cord. So I aint looking for expensive solutions.

Also, do you think these speakers have 2 seperate (as in physically disconnected from each other) crossovers. One for the tweaters and one for the woofers. This all seems retarded... Its almost as bad as spending $1000 on speaker cable. Im thinking of taking the back panel off and just combinding them with some soder and wire.

The jumper should have come with the speakers. You might have to contact B&W to get the appropriate jumper if you don't have one.

If you bought them new they should have come with a set of jumpers. You can always cut off a bit of your speaker cable and use that. A hanger is not the most aesthetically pleasing piece of wire you could use but the difference between that and your speaker cable would probably be inaudible.

That was a bit of a joke... though you are right... they would be inaudible if done right.

Ive had to dispute $10.80 on Paypal to cover the cost of the bridges on these one pair of speakers. I will see what the results are in probably a month.

Just make one from the wire that you are using. Just cut off four 2" pieces of wire, strip the ends off, and hook it up. They have some advantages to, like they don't resonate like bridge straps. Resonating bridge straps annoy the hell out of me.

I use a paper clip as a jumper in my dbx Soundfield V's.

I am going to do the paperclip for this week, cause the store will be closed during the Turkey day, and I plan on using these speakers.

I beleive the B&W bridge connects are of high quality. Turns out 1 of the 2 speakers I purchased had the connects.
