What amp wattage for front components?

[ptiller]

I have a C5 vette that I want to add 2-way components ( 6.5" + tweet ) to the front.
What amplifer wattage would be sufficent to drive components to a reasonably loud ( and clean ) level? 75W/ch, 100W/ch, 150W/ch?
Thanks!!

any of those should be fine. many on this site prefer more power, though, for headroom and dynamic range.

run as much power as you can afford or fit whichever comes first. Use amp gains wisely, nothing better than tons of headroom.

Can I say that 75W/channel a good min for components?

Am I better off skipping lower wattage amps ( many 4-channel amps at 50W or 60W )?

I am running a sub below 80Hz.

Thanks!!
