Novice attempting to bi-amp. Help


I purchased two Carver TFM-42 amps with the intention
of bi-amping my Carver Amazing III speakers as they are
power hogs and have read the this configuration will
really open them up. However, I have no idea how to
wire this set up. ( speaker cables and interconnects).
I would appreciate any advice from those experienced
with a bi-amped set up. The speakers do have
dual binding posts for bi-wiring.

Thanks,

For what it is worth:

I actively bi-amp my speakers and set up the amps the way G13 said (horizontally), but I have two different amps. I have been told by many (including Dan D'Agostino of Krell fame) that if I had two of the same amp, I would be better off vertically bi-amping.
There reasons for this are two fold; one getting the separation advantage of monoblocks and since the bass will usually draw far more power than the highs, one amp is not responsible for delivering it all by itself.
I would be interested in why the preceeding threads recommend the horizontal configuration.
