In a passive loudspeaker the low-level audio signal is amplified by an external power amplifier before it reaches the loudspeaker cabinet. This signal is then split by a selection of components into the frequency ranges suitable for each drive unit. This usually found inside the cabinet and is called a passive crossover. This is the most common method used in home audio and allows the choice of the widest selection of amplification.
Bi-wiring is the use of two runs of speaker cable per channel between the amplifier and speaker. Tri-wiring is similarly the use of three runs of speaker cable per channel, but you will require a three way loudspeaker and three rear pairs of terminals per speaker to achieve this. Some people advocate that separating the signal paths aids the retrieval of fine detail. However, the evidence is far from conclusive. If you intend to bi-wire your two way speakers, or tri-wire your three way speakers ensure the metal links on the back-panel have been removed.
