Connecting two amps-bi-amp cabling

I am planning on using two identical SS amplifiers (200wpc)to two speakers which have single inputs. The amps do not have an obvious internal bridging capability.

I was going to run one amp per speaker (I have double pre-amp outs)and was planning on having custom cables made with four conductors at each amp 2x+; 2x-)and two at the speaker (1x+; 1x-) to utilize both amp channels for one speaker.

Anyone have any suggestions for a "better way"?

MIT used to make special speaker cables for just this your purpose. They were however not useable for every kind of amp. Get in touch with Joe Abrams at [email protected], he could tell you more. He is very helpful and kowledgeable in these matters.
As far as your basic idea is concerend, I had the same many years ago and was told that I'd blow the amp. Since I'm more ears than technical brains, I've forgotten the reason why this was so. Maybe someone with a technically savvy brain will come to our rescue. Cheers,
