Not bad amps at all.
Definitely worth doing - bear in mind that bridging will slightly raise your noise floor and distortion in the quest for power, but it's what I've done for the past few years: I found the headroom make the bigger difference.
Set the amp to bridged mode - not sure if you'll find that there's switches or something that need changing: some do, some don't. The manual should also tell you where to connect the speakers, and which input is used
You're best off using a scope or a voltmeter and a test tone to set the gains.
