Default Amp question

Head unit JVC KD-HDR1
Front door speakers Alpine SPR-13S 5.25 2-WAY COMPONENT SET SPEAKERS
Rear door speakers Alpine SPS-171A 6.5

Now my question is which amp would properly match these speakers. Also looking for and adapter to use my factor satelite radio antenna with the new head unit. Thank for the help

any 400 watt 4 channel would be great for those speakers. most 400 watt 4 channels put out like 50w at 4 ohms which most door/satellite speakers are 4 ohms. anything rockford fosgate, jl, kicker, JBL are great brands that I will swear by.

PPI, INFINITY, NAKAMICHI, McINTOSH, ECLIPSE, I am personally going to go with either eclipse or Nakamichi depending what is available when I have the cash together.

Sounds good to me, now my next step is looking into a subwoofer. I have a plan there for the center console. Now im not sure how to wire up the subwoofer with the amp. Sorry about all these question that are probly fairly straight forward but im just getting into all this and I would like to do as much my self as i can, for a learning experince.

possibly on amp (4 channel) for the stereo speakers and a seperate for the sub, or one for stereo and a powered box or sub, depending on what model ram you have. that will also dictate how much power you will need for the stereo channels being tend to have alot more power for a sub/amp settup vs a powered unit.

Okay I'm slowly getting this all figured out, anyways so i went with an alpine head unit instead of the jvc and decided to skip the subwoofer for now, and just get a 4 channel amp to power the 4 component speakers. My next problem now is what is the cheapest way of intigrating the factory sirius sat radio into this unit.
