Bi-Wiring an onkyo 605 and polk tsi-400s

No problem. My 605's manual was actually wrong, in that it showed the top terminals on the speakers were for the lows. I wouldn't be surprised that yours was the same way, so I can see how it'd be confusing.

If you look at the Polk manual you'll see that what I've listed is correct.

Heh, I tried reading through it, but I work at midnight, so by the time I was working on it I had been up 10-11 hours, and I just was not understanding it at all.

So now that we know which is which...

is it better to seperate them? meaning should i take off the plate and wire the highs to the fronts and the lows to the rears?

In my opinion, yes. I think it will vary depending on each speaker manufacturer, however.

I think there's a sticky somewhere, but i was under the impression that it doesn't really matter which terminals you use. Otherwise, how are all of us who aren't bi-amping getting the high's and low's out of our fronts if we're just plugged in to the top or bottom terminals?

If you're hooking the front speaker channels from your receiver and the surround back speaker channels from your receiver to your front speakers (bi-amping), then yes, you need to remove the jumpers.
