When horizontally bi-amping what speaker impedance does the amplifier face?

When the jumpers are removed from the speaker terminals, how does the impedance change, or doesn't it? I own Mini-T's. Are the drivers and crossovers internally wired in series or parallel or some combination there of? I'm just curious. Thanks for any information.

Hi

Internally the drivers are wired in parallel. 

When bi-amping the impedance of the woofer section will only rise marginally but the upper section will rise significantly.
