Ravi, assuming that when the 1602 is set to 5-channel stereo that the left main signals go the left surround channel and the same story for the right side(as makes sense)then what you suggest should work. The whole idea of passive biamping without getting rid of the crossovers in the speakers seems to have little benefit. The maximum power available to each section of the speaker is still the same(e.g. two 100 watt amp sections don't give you a max of 200 watts, it's still 100).
