How to Bi-wire speakers when using a subwoofer


I would like to bi-wire my speakers. I currently have an active subwoofer between my amp and monitors. Do I direct wire to the subwoofer and then bi-wire to the monitors? Thanks

"....Depending on your gear, there may be another way to connect your sub that would actually offer benefits to your system..."

OPTION

-- Longer length RCA interconnects direct from your preamp outs plugged into your RCA inputs on your subwoofer.
That way your bi-wire speaker cables from your amp to your speakers remain undisturbed "as-is".

What I did:

I Bought Klotz AC110 bulk cable (10metres) and then had the pair of 5metre lengths professional terminated with Neutrik Profi RCA connectors to serve as the ICs to the subwoofer.

Note: (These are exactly the component parts that the REGA "Couple" ICs are made with, and actually made for REGA by KLOTZ....)

I bought the Neutrik Profi RCA connectors on EBay and bought the bulk cable separately directly from a German cable/ parts supplier ... Much cheaper cuz KLOTZ is a German cable.

I use Nordost Freys as my main ICs and these REGA Couple interconnect clones are no slouches by comparison regardless. They are outstanding in their subwoofer role.

PS:

I bought an extra 10 metres of cable and another pair of Neutrik Profi RCA connectors to serve as a swap-in HT subwoofer cable for my other HT subwoofer , and is as good as my expensive NORDOST HT subwoofer cable.
