JBL's 80.4 amps produce 80 X 4 (dunno if that's 4 or 2 ohms)

Don't go over 75 watts....

If the gains are set accordingly realistically you could run 100x4 RMS and still get a clean signal without distorting the speakers. You would just have to know when to stop on the volume control.. Most people blow speakers by not using a big enough amp and driving to clipping.

would the usa 4080 be good for this set?

yea, the USX 4080 would be a pretty good match if you turned the gains down a tad.
