What amp to get for mismatched front/rear speakers

Looking to amp up my speakers, bc they sound terrible without power. I have Alpine type R's in the front, rated at 100 watts, and JBL's(dont remember the model number), rated at 45 watts in the rear. I'm very confused on what amp to get because of the power difference.

Also, i have a sub in the back so im going to have to run a power distribution block, if that means anything. its going to be a pretty big project, cannot wait!

 
I like the idea of only powering only the fronts with an amp. I was thinking about getting this amp, because my friend can get me it for $100, and it would match my other alpine amp. But, would 150 watts per channel be too much power to run to my 100 watt front speakers? The $100 price tag is just too enticing to pass up, imo. Thanks.

Alpine - 200W Class A/B Bridgeable 4/3/2-Channel MOSFET Amplifier w/ Adjustable Crossover - MRP-F300

I apologize if links are not allowed. The name of the amp is Alpine MRP-F300.

 
The MRP-F300 is nowhere near as nice as the EXL-350.2. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

The speakers will be fine with the extra power. Just set the gains accordingly...

 
So, if im running 100 watt speakers on a 150 wpc amp, should my gain be higher than normal, or lower??...im assuming lower, but im not sure.
