How should I wire my 4ch amp?

I have a Kicker KX350.4 that I bought to power my speakers. I bought a pair of CDT CL60CV's which do 130w RMS for the front, and a pair of older Pioneer 3ways which do 50w rms. My amp only puts out 60w x4 @4ohms, or 175w x2 @4 ohms. Should i just run the CDT's bridged off of the 4ch amp? or should I power them all at 60w rms? Would the CDT's sound much better getting their full power fix? I would run the Pioneers off of the deck power (22w RMS).
I'll upgrade the amp later, probably around the same time I upgrade my rear's.

Just wire each speaker to each channel. 60w is plenty of power for any speaker.

Well the CL-60CV's do have the external crossover, the rear Pioneer's have them on the speaker. The Tweeter Model number is TW-19 by CDT.

Specs on the Speakers(CDT CL-60CV)
6.5" 2-way convertible system
6.5" Carbon Treated Paper Cone
Crossover: EX-450 Elliptic 4th/5th order 2-way
Tweeter: TW-19 3/4" Smooth Silk Dome
Power handling: 100Watt RMS @ 100Hz High-Pass
Frequency response: 65-20kHz
Sensitivity: 90.6 dB
Impedance: 4Ohm
Surface & swivel flush mount housings

My bad, the speakers only do 100w RMS.
