i have an amp with specs listed as

# Continuous Power (14.4V): 50Wx4 (4 ohm), 60Wx4 (2 ohm), 120Wx2 (4 ohm)
# Max Power (14.4V): 100Wx4 (4 ohm), 240Wx2 (4 ohm)

My component speakers are rated as 70rms and 350peak. I won't get enough power to my speakers at 4ohms and too much power at 2ohms. What should I do?

i might have worded the question wrong. i won't get enough power if i hook my speakers as 4 channel and too much power as 2 channel.

Well it looks like a very cheap amp, because normally if you get 4x50@4ohm then you should get 4x100@2ohm and 2x200@4ohm bridged.
Well anyway, I would go ahead and try to run that component set with the amp as a 2 channel, you can always keep the gain a bit down so too much power should not be an issue. The speakers will be fine as long as you don't clip the amp.

if your running just 2 speakers on it then run that 4 channel bridged, 1 speaker per pair of terminals.
