Alright so im trying to make a little DIY speaker system for my room, and i bought two 8" no name subs and two 5.25" Slim speakers. they also come with four 350W tweeters for free, yes they are the cheapest speakers in the world but its what i can afford for now. i was wondering with that being said what is a good amp i should get (again cheap and from ebay prefferably) enough to power all four tweeters, two 8's, two speakers. if you could tell me what kind of amp i would need in terms of how much watts i need or if you could even save me the error and find one on ebay for me that would help me alot.

here are the subs:

you may need a couple of amps... try to match the RMS of the amp with the RMS of what u are hooking it up to... so for the subs... they are each 150w peak... so probably around 50w RMS... so ur gonna want to put 50wRMS into each one...
