I looked up the Philips HTS6500 system and I have good news for you.
All three drivers in each enclosure are full-range drivers.

It also says that the three drivers in each statellite are:
"3 x 3" full range woofer"
I'm guessing that each driver has its own amplifier, and that the speakers
are all hooked up to a full-range amplifier, and with the same polarity.
You should be able to figure out when you have two full-range drivers
hooked
up with the same polarity, doing so will maximize low frequency response.
So play a mono source with some bass. Hook up one driver in one speaker.
Hook up another, and try each of the two possible polarities and use the
one
with the most bass. Do the same with the third driver. Then with the other
speaker box in close proximity to the first, hook up the addtional 3
drivers
using the same method of picking the alternative with the most bass.
Also, when you hook up two similar drivers to the same source, the
in-polarity connection will make the sound appear to be more focussed, and
the out-of-polarity connection will make the sound appear to be more
diffused.
