Dean, here are some periods for you to use next time: ..................

You can't separate just the woofer from the rest of the speaker, and then biamp it. If you're really going to do that with a speaker that just has one set of terminals, you'll have to figure out what parts of the speaker are the woofer crossover, and what parts are the mid and tweeter crossover, and separate those two parts of the crossover. Then one amp goes to the woofer crossover plus woofer, and one amp goes to the mid and tweeter crossovers plus mid and tweeter drivers.

I think people who biamp do so mostly to use electronic crossovers, that is, components that split the audio spectrum into bass and mid/high sections at line level BEFORE the power amps, instead of using a passive crossover at the speakers. The advantages are that you can change the crossover if it's electronic, but you can't if it's made with fixed components. Also, as said, some think speakers sound better that way. They might, but might does not make right.

I know, that's not what that means, but it worked here.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
