Help wiring speakers please?

[Spike243 10+ year member]

I have a crossfire bmf250m mono amp (A/B class) and I want to use it to amp a pair of phoenix gold ti5cx coaxial speakers. The speakers are 4 ohm and are 60wrms and 120 max a piece. The amp puts out 250 watts at 2 ohm and 160watts at 4 ohm. My problem is that I dont know weather to wire them in parallel with each one getting double what they need or should i wire them in series an they would get about 35 watts each? if i had to wire them in parallel then would i just have to turn my gain way down and make sure not to overpower them? Thanks for the help

why are you powering full range speakers off a mono amp?

parallel, series does strange things to the high frequency response. wire in parallel and keep the gain low.

then get a stereo amp to properly power them. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yea i am planning on getting a good 2 or 4 channel amp soon but i am just trying to get some use out of this amp seeing that it was just sitting around. I thought is was a class D but i found out is was A/B and could drive full range speakers.
