I have just bought some Auna CS Comp-8 3-way component speakers for the front of the Nova. Link:

They consist of
2x 8" woofers @ 400W RMS each (going in the doors)
2x 4" midrange @ 400W RMS each (OE position inside dash)
2x 1.5" Tweeters @ naff all because they are tweeters (not sure on position - maybe wing mirror covers?)
Now I need a 2 channel amplifier to power these right? As I assume the stereos internal 45W amplifier might not be up to the task
Ideally with the total RMS output of the speakers being 1600W (4x400) I would want an amplifier that pumps out the same RMS amount right? But do I really need that much?? It's not as if it will be used for competition - hell I doubt it will ever be louder than 1/4 of what they can handle. Reason I ask is because I have an old Pioneer GM-X922 amp which says it pumps out 150W RMS over 2 channels, will it do the job?
