Request bi amping

[nistmic]

Hallo guys!
I would like to know about the settings on a dbx 260 processor for bi amping my (1999 model) ReQUESTs. I have experience on measuring and adjusting sound systems, but if someone has already done it this would help me a lot.
Also it would be very helpful if you have any recomandation regarding wire connections some photo of the changes made on boards etc. THANKS A LOT!!

Well, while not a reQuest owner, I do have some experience at all this

First, some questions:

1. Are you using the DriveRack strickly for a 2-way crossover on the reQuests, or will there be a sub involved a well?
2. What source device and amps are you using?
3. Do they have balanced outputs (using XLR connections)?
4. Are you willing to modify the circuit boards in the reQuest?

should be a fun project.
