RP6000ii Crossover
« on: 28 Jun 2026, 03:28 am »
I'm looking for the schematic for the Klipsch RP6000 Mk II. I'm curious about bi-amping and want to know how the rear terminals are wired to that.

RP6000 Mk II Bi Amp

I'm curious about the possibility of replacing the in-cabinet crossover with separate amplifiers for each speaker in the cabinet (yes... I know it's three speakers/drivers instead of two for biamp). I would want to customize an equalizer for each amplifier/driver combo.

That's not how speakers work. Abort the mission...

@Early B. --- isn't that how all active speakers work?

Broadly speaking, an active loudspeaker uses an electronic crossover to divide the audio signal into multiple channels, with each channel being sent to a dedicated amplifier connected to a single loudspeaker driver.

An equalizer won't perform the function of properly dividing the audio signal.

I think we're quibbling over terms. An equalizer is nothing more than a filter or set of filters with some degree of enhanced operational parameters. An equalizer is exactly what will be used to create an active crossover. It can have additional functional bands to further manipulate the signal feeding the amplifiers in question.

Let's re-state:

Tweeter - amp + hi-pass filter
Woofer 1 - amp + mid-band filter (hi-pass plus low-pass)
Woofer 2 - amp + low-pass filter
