can't find any speakers please help

looking for advice i can't find any speakers i have the mb quart dsc 450
here are the specs



the only component set i found that is close to the power matching of the amp is the jbl P660C

http://www.jbl.com/EN-US/Products/Pages/ProductDetails.aspx?PID=P660C

my amp is rated for 100W rms @ 2 ohm x 4 or 50W RMS @ 4 ohm x 4

will there be an issue of the amp over powering the speakers or is there another product set that can match the power/impedance requirement of the amp or am i basically gonna have to mix and match?

The amp you have in mind a four channel amp. Are you powering just a pair of these speakers, or two?

If I understand you right, you'll need two four channel amps if you want to go active with your components.

I gotta say, those are some pretty skookum components you have picked.

You'll be fine with your choice. There's no need to be shy about how much power you give components like that given their power ratings. The more power the better. I would rock those babies with a couple DSC4125's all active if that's what I was going with and I had money to spend. It is overkill, but I would be confident in it. I've never ever had a problem with giving speakers tons of power in my setups before.

Ah, it's just a little Chinook slang.
