Using 2 different model amps to drive one pair of patio speakers....novice questions

I am running a pair of JBL 28T speakers on the patioI have two amps acquired over the years
B&K ST2140
R Fosgate RF2000 (Bridgeable .....whatever that means)

Can I drive the pair with different amps pushing 1 speaker each or
Can I bridge them and then connect the 2 speakers to one amp and get a piggy back effect of more power

I am clearly no sound technician Thanks in advance for any help and comments
I want to use what I have acquired over the years but don't want to do something stupid

First of all thank you for your comments. I was told the speakers need a lot of power. I was trying to maximize the components I have on hand it as you noted......I have plenty on the B&K and can store the fosgate for another day and another scenario

Like a lot of wanna be audiophiles like me I just assume that more is better.....I run my polk bookshelf speakers with a 200 w amp in my office and it sounds really good so I just assume that if I over power everything it will sound better.  Thanks for setting me straight.

No
One set of terminals on each speaker.
I am fine with my plan. I do however have to sets of terminals on the back of my Polk RtiA3 speakers. I have them on a Carver M500 amp and an old Kenwood KA 7300 integrated I use as a preA
