Need an amp

I've upgraded my sound system from stock to a Pioneer DEH-P6700MP and Blaupunkt TSc660 component speakers. I was told that I would need an amp to run this setup effectively. I don't need a super loud system. I just want nice sound quality that justifies the $300 I spent on the HU and speakers. Anyone have any suggestions?

Just get a pioneer 4 ch or 2 ch. I don't know the model#s but it is a decent brand if you are not going to be competing and puts out decent power. If you are in a spending mood just get something more expensive like eclipse, arc audio, etc.

Picking up Shadow's JBL 80.4

Will I have to rewire the car with heavier gauge wire?

no real need to, just run standard 8 gauge power to the amp and use the reg lines to the speakers
