Does anyone know (or can measure) the DC resitance of a polk RTi10 with the Bi-amping straps on? straps off would be nice too.

Thanks.

Using a Cen-Tech P30756 meter set on 200, here's the following results:

The RTi10's are 4.1 strapped. Unstrapped, the top terminals measure 7.4. The bottom terminals measure 8.0

As for the rest of my Polk setup:
The center channel which is the CSi5 strapped measures 5.1. The FXi3 dipole surrounds aren't biampable, and measured 4.4. The RTi4's measure 4.3.

Testing some old Optimus Mach Two 15" 3 ways in the basement, they measured a perfect 8.0 and are driven easily by an older Yamaha 40wpc stereo receiver.

As I've always stated - Polks are pigs and require huge current.
