2-channel or 4-channel???

i decided to only power my components in front ... i want to power the woofer and tweets only 100 watts... so would it better to have a 200w/ch. 2 channel amp connected in series work the same as powering the speakers by a 4 ch. amp individually? can you do this?? how would the inputs on the rca be if you can??

What I wonder is that I noticed some people on here actually power the tweeter separately from the woofer of a component setup.

My Kicker Resolution tweeter says it has a 150watt rms while the woofer is 100watts rms. I was planning on bridging the 4 channels of a 5ch amp to get 150watts for 2 channels. Will the 150 watts be divided in half between the woofer and tweeter?
