What Amp For my setup

I am currently looking to purchase an amp for the following setup. I have a JVC KDSX8250 Head Unit, with Infinity Kappas in the front and rear (KAPPA462.5CFP and KAPPA693.5I) What amp would you guys suggest for these speakers ?

How much $$$ you got?

And what type of RMS rating do those speakers have?

The front Speakers have a RMS value of 60 Watts, the rear speakers have a RMS value of 110 Watts. I would be more concerned about amping the rear than I would the front, but I would like to have both of them running to a 4 Channel Amp.

my speakers have similar rms handlings...on certain amps you can use different levels of power..i have an 800 watt amp.. 200 by 4 OR 400 by 2...which i what i did...i have 100 watts going to each speaker and 400 going to my sub...can't say that its the smartest...but when we installed it..we adjusted a little more amplification towards the rear speakers...i really wish that everyone buys boston acoustic...i wish i did...any more qts lemme know. you can also run 100by 4 or 200 by 2 run 50 watts through each speaker..and 200 through your sub...much better quality wattage and much much safer
