running 2 of the same amps into 1 pair of speakers [ first watt J2's]

has anyone tried / using something like this set up -

left output of one amp into left speaker [ leave right output alone]

another amp doing the same with the right channel to right speaker .

I have a friend that is using this set up - likes it feels it eliminates crosstalk & adds some power .

not sure about the power ? what are pros /cons to doing this if any ?

If your speakers can be bi-amped, you can do the same thing and be using the whole amp/amps, you’ll have a setup that will have twice the power (3db) and using all channels.

Since I believe this is a kit, you'd probably be better off increasing the power supply filter caps overall.
