I would use a stereo 200wpc, but read the fine print on the specs! Make sure it's "continuous rms" output, rated at 12 volts into 4 Ohms. Many higher ratings are claimed, but may involve "peak" power, lower impedance, and requiring higher voltage (the last time I checked, an auto and its battery are 12 volts, no higher). An amp that meets these specs should do you just fine. IMO

Yeah, they are great for finding out information. There prices are much higher than they should be but I find them very useful when looking stuff up.
