Help with amplifier

Hi I am very new to car audio and am in the process of outlining a full system for my Lincoln towncar, I have selected the Focal PS 165 FE Component speaker for my front and I want to power them with a JL Audio RD400/4 because they both have great reviews, the features I want, and they fit my budget. The only problem is the focal speakers are rated for 70 Watts RMS but the amplifier I've chosen outputs 75 Watts I would like to know if this could hurt my system over time or affect sound quality in any way. Any help or alternative recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Amp questions

No thats not gonna hurt anything,you actually can use a lil more power,100rms would be OK. If you start getting any distortion at half to 3/4 volume may have to reduce line input sensitivity.
