Should I upgrade my amp?

[ninjafish 10+ year member]

I currently have an Alpine CDA 9856 head unit and 4 Infinity 5.25" speakers with 45 rms/speaker. My first question is should I get a four channel amp for them and if so how many watts because I dont want to blow them.

 

My second question concerns my subs I have one 10" punch and one 10" unknown (they were donated to me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif ) anyway I believe that they are 320 watts each and I'm running them with a 2-channel 340 watt Power Acoustics amp. I know thats not allowing them to reach they're full potential because I can barely hear them outside my car when I have them cranked to max and the amp all the way up. So I'd like to know if I should upgrade to something like a 600 watt amp or not?

 

Thank you all for your advice.

I went to a trade show and got 2 12" audiobahn 400 rms subs and a 1000 watt MDX power amp and 2 tweeters. I keep getting told that those Infinity's will be blown by a 4 channel amp so i left them alone. I'll post pics later...
