suggestions on wiring tower speakers

I have 2 tower speakers that are going to be powered by a Kenwood KAC6201. Specs on the Discus speakers are 50-120watt 4 ohms. Specs on the amp are 60w x2 or 150w x1 bridged. Should I bridge the tower speakers to this amp or just have them normal? If I bridge them, how would the speakers wire together?
Thanks.

You'll get louder cleaner sound without bridging them. My vote is always to have one channel for one speaker.

uhmmm. there is no such thing as stereo at 60-80 feet with speakers only 2-4 feet across..

if your amp combines the right and left channel in the bridged mode or run a mixed mono signal and can you can wire the speakers in the suggested 4 ohm mono load, it will sound better and be 3-6 db louder.

hope that helps,

mike

Thanks Mike. How do the speakers wire together for that?
