Are you asking if the Speakon inputs are bi-wired direct to the drivers like some GK cabs? They are not. Speakon input goes directly to the crossover and to the woofers and tweet from there. I'm not sure if the Speakon jack is 2 or 4 pole though.

No, I know that the speakon inputs go directly to the crossover. I'm just not sure they use 2 or 4 pole jacks. Thanks anyways!

ALL the equipment that I own that came with a speakon were all the 4 pole variety. That's what I always use nowadays. Wired +1 and -1.
