You want to run an amp on any speaker. The decks do not have enough power to drive most good speakers. 2 ways to go,[*]get a 4 channel amp and run a single 4 ohm speaker off each channel.
adv-you have fader control
disadv-more expensive, not using the amp to its fullest potential.[*]get a 2 channel amp and run 2 speakers (FL&RL, FR&RR) at 2 ohms. Running at 2 ohms will give more watts, but its being split up between the speakers.
adv-cheaper
disadv-loss of fader control

In any case, get an amp thats 30-50 watts RMS /channel at 4 ohm.
