When installed in this fashion, your satellite speakers will be crossed over at 80/100Hz (or 85Hz for CHT-8/-10) which removes the lower bass from your amplifier and speakers, enabling them to do a better job reproducing high frequencies. By utilizing this method, you will have a bi-amplified system, gaining improved power and headroom for your system.
