Default amp/system setup questions galore

i've been interested in installing an in-dash gps player in my car. after a lot of CL searching, i've come to find out that it's a good idea to purchase a 4/channel amp to power my speakers.

what's a good wattage to power my stock speakers? i haven't found anything through the search bar. would this amp work out all right? http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_...SL+F4.400.html

i've seen it on amazon for ~$50 shipped. i'm not trying to be cheap, just ball on a budget.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

also, i was thinking of purchasing this Orion sub with matching monoblock amp. i've always heard good things about orion amps, should i grab the matching sub or do you think there is a better sub for the same price range?


sub:

amp:

--------------------------------------------------------------

i want to throw the sub in a bandpass box. just looking for advice/suggestions since i'm not very familiar with all this. thanks.
