dontbother bi-wiring, too much power, not as easy to set up, and the amp wont like it! and in saying that the jl 300/4 is quite a powerful amp, can you not run a sub or your other speakers off the other 2 chnnls?

Bi-amp it. It'll allow for better customization and finer tuning.

Too much power? That set can handle a combined 150W. Just be cautious on the gains.
Setup shouldn't be too hard if you're willing to put a little effort into it.
And why wouldn't that amp like it? It's rated at 75W x 4.

so i spent the whole afternoon rewiring everything and i decided to biamp it. i thought it would allow me to fine tune things better. it sounds 50x better then what i had before.

the reason im not running the rear channels to a sub is that im using the 500/1

when i first bought the mb quart set i was using the front chanels (of the 300/4) to power the front components and the rear was bridged(@150watts) for my w6. it was a good setup but i felt the fronts werent as loud and clear as i thought it would be.

now im happy i just have to tune it more and put my sub back in.
