hi everybody i m having problems choosing an amplifier for my system plz HELP ME !!!!

i have bought off ebay the following speakers:

pioneer

front speakers: 50 watts (nominal power)

220 wats (peak power)

4 ohm

pioneer

rear speakers: 80 watts (nominal power)

460 watts (peak power)

4 ohm

i have no subwoofer

I need to know what kind of amplifier i should buy for these speakers

how many channels? one with 4 channels or 2 with 2 channels??

if it is one amp with 4 channels how much wattage i should be looking for in the amp?

and if it is two with 2 channels same thing (about wattage)

the thing is that i dont know how to combine the speaker power (u know peak power and nominal power)with the amp power(peak and nominal power) if u know what i mean.

If im not being very clear plz let me know and ill bring somebody fluent in English..

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME I REALLY APPRECIATE IT !!!!

Don't pay any attention to peak power handing. What you should be worried about is RMS. What you will need is a 4 channel amp to drive all 4 speakers. An amp that does 4 x 50 watts rms or higher is good enough and pretty easy to find.

How much are you looking to spend?

nope your rears should ideally be quieter than your fronts. And the fronts can only handle 50 rms watts, so just stick with a 50x4. If you want it to be louder upgrade the front speakers and the amp.

fiberglass reminds me of peanut brittle... but fiberglass tastes better!
