Hi guys a quick question or two pls...

How do you actually biamp ? Is splitting the single RCA into two for each channel a big prob( impedance factors between gear etc) or what is the correct correct way to do it ? Or is the splitting of the RCA good enough just to test the waters for a proper method ( assuming there is a more proper method)
(Sure I asked the question before but can't find it now and parked it too long to remember).

The other question I have is wether it's ok to join two channels via an RCA strapping and then split it up again straight after...
Lol, I know theoretical questions will be asked like " why on earth would you want to do that ? " lol...
So let me answer upfront , maybe there's even a better way also...
See , I like the tonal character of mono playback ( personal preference) but I have the two speakers and the two power amps.. So I want to try a dual mono if you can call it that..
So the idea above is to join the stereo channels into one , like strapping it and getting out the sum of it and in so doing creating a single strapped mono channel, then split it up into two equivalent channels so to speak , hense dual mono.

So please , even if you are not in favour of my thinking but have technical know how to guide me in these two experiments ... I will be gratefull...

Thanks a mill in advance..
