What kind iof amp you think is best?

I have 5" 110 watt speakers in the front with reccomended rms up to 35 watts and 6" 140 watt speakers in the back with reccomended rms up to 45 watts I believe. The deck already has 22 watts rms. I was wondering what kind of 4 channel amp with how many watts should I get to get good sound but without blowing or damaging the speakers. I know even if an amp says 400 watts after looking at the rms and still take away max output it's lower than what the amp claims but what do you people think is a good one to get for my situation

I'm not a fan of 5 channel amps. They're like 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioners...smell and look nice, but don't do the best job. With a few exception if you've got $$$.

Get a brand name 4ch that'll provide enough juice that's within ur budget. I tend to tell ppl to spend as much as they can on amps to avoid having to upgrade. As time goes on and you decide you wanna get a sub, get urself a mono D-class amp if your finances allows it. If not, get a 2ch and bridge it

Wait, I misread the question... get a 4 channel x 50 rms amp... brand name if possible or read around at caraudio.com forums to see what's good. Brand name doesn't always mean it's good, and there's plenty of "underground" brands that kick the shit outta brand names and cost half the price.

"BEST" is always very subjective.
