So, I'm very new at this. I just bought brand new speakers for my car, and am planning on getting an amp to power them.. I don't know anything about this stuff and have no time to go to a professional. Ive been told to look out for how many ohms (have no idea what they are lol). Anyways. Details about the speakers are below. Just curious about how big of an amp to get an how many channels, and ohms, etc. I do plan on getting subs in the future. Thanks!

First off, welcome to CCA.....

The power ratings you have included seem a bit optimistic on the manufacturer's part.....I would be leery about putting more than 100W/channel to the rears if you are running them full-range.

The 4" fronts I would limit to half that and I would also suggest crossing them over @ 100hz or higher with that much power to them.

Both sets will be fine off deck power but keep an ear on the fronts if you crank up the volume....they will be the first to complain if you are feeding them a distorted signal or they reach their mechanical limits due to the lower frequencies you are sending them.

A 4 channel amp in the 50-60W/channel range will be plenty.....don't forget to protect those fronts with the amps Xover....or did I mention that already?.....
