looking for answer to ohm question

I have a crown x4000 amp and Peavey sp4g speakers that I want to bi amp. The low side runs at 1400 watts at 4 ohms. Will the amp only run 4 ohms to the speaker?

Your question makes no sense.
Ohms is a measure of Resistance: the speakers have a certain resistance, spec'd in Ohms. Most common value is 8 Ohms, for cars 4 Ohms. If your speakers are 4 Ohms, then apparently your amp will run 1,400 Watts into it

To biamp you will need a second amplifier. Here is the spec sheet for the speakers
http

/www.manualslib.com/manual/121365/Peavey-Sp-4g.html
They suggest 700 watts rms for the lows (4 ohms) and 40 watts rms for the highs (8 ohms).
It is not clear but you will need an external electronic crossover with an 18db/oct slope at 1.2 khz .
If you don't use the crossover don't bother to biamp. Won't do you much good since you have more power than the speaker can handle already.
