I'm guessing you want a 4 channel amp? For that, if money is no object, then try Zapco/Orion. For a good value, try PPI. They have some 4 channel amps on eBay. If that's out of your budget, then try Audiobahn A6004T amp. It is very cheap in price and perform well for the money ($120).

You won't blow your speakers from giving it a little extra clean power. They make 4 channel amps that range from 85W - 125W rms each.
Just select the one that's slightly higher than your speakers.
The reason for that is, to get max power with the volume control around 75%. Most HU's will distort beyond and that's what kills speakers, distortion/clipping.
One more thing, ignore "PEAK" power numbers. They don't mean anything.

so if i get an amp that powers 100 watts x4 at 4 ohms then it should power the four speakers good?

Correct. Don't buy cheap amps though, or else your mids and highs will sound like a tin can.

Most bang for your money is from Audiobahn A6004T 4 channel amp. It costs around $130 and performs very well.
PPI has 4 channel amp that range in price from $200 - $350. Very nice amp.
