onkyo tx-sr606 and klipsch c-2 center

[ozzy1960]

I was wondering if anyone can give some advice on how to hook up the c-2 to the receiver. The c-2 has two speaker wire hookups and the receiver has one.
Your advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Are you sure you are looking at the right center speaker hookup on the back of the reciever? I have an onkyo 605 and mine has two being that yours in an updated version of mine you might be looking at the wrong thing.

The back panel has 2 surround back, 2 surround, 2 front, 1 center, 1 sub and zone 2 wire hookups, thats it .

If your speaker has two sets of positive/negative connections, it's for bi-amping/wiring. There should be two metal shims connecting the two sets of terminals to each other- negative to negative, positive to positive. You can honestly use either set of connections.

If you have this type of connection on your fronts, you can use the surround back connections to bi-amp, sending discrete highs and lows individually. Just make sure you check your manual and remove the shims before you do that.

Don't do it on the center as the 606 isn't set up to do that.

*edit* Here's an example:


If you were bi-amping, you'd hook up speaker wire to the top set as well, removing the metal shims. These are my surrounds so I'm not doing that.
