Setting up 2 power amplifiers to setup at once help?

Hey guys I’m using a pair of Polk rti a7s with a Denon Poa 2800 amplifier and Denon receiver 2801. I just bought another power yamha PC2002M power amplifier which has a little more kick then the denon 2800. But I will be giving the denon 2800 to my dad when he gets back from his trip. I just want to know is it possible to hook up the 2 power amps to my setup at once ? And is it worth will I see a big difference in sound quality and performance ? I’m just curious and want to do a bit of experimenting only if it’s possible? Don’t want to risk blowing anything up. Thanks guys

Ok I know on the back of my speakers I have in total 4 connectors 2 pairs

so 2 red connectors and 2 black connectors. Do i really need jumpers ?

if I follow this diagram am I in th clear?

Once again do do they need to be exact same power amplifiers ? Or in my case there different one Yamaha one denon? I know another user commented earlier on advising don’t do it. This is all just for experimental purposes but I don’t want to risk damaging anything either

Wow. A lot of things to consider. Appreciate all user comments and feedback. Probably going to do a bit more further reading and research before I attempt anything just to make sure I take every step with precaution and th advice you guys have given me. So it can be done without and active cross over? And unidentical amps. Considering that @almarg has mentioned that the gains are almost identical ?

Is it possible you use an integrated preamplifier with a power amplifier. In my case an integrated preamplifier with any of my denon or Yamaha power amplifiers ?
