Cheap amp anyone???

Hey guys. I know you have seen my posts about me talking about getting 4 new speakers and an eclipse cd player yada yada yada. I won't talk your ears off this time about it. It seems many of you are saying it is in my best interest if I get an amp to power the speakers. Well, my question is, what type of amp, how many channels, and do any of you have one that you are selling cheap. Sweetsound has made me a great offer for a 4 channel Eclipse Amp for 180 bucks. it retails for 300. Now, i don't know if the amp i would need would power all 4 speakers, or the back 2 speakers, or the front 2 speakers. That is the stuff you need to help me out with, but i don't really want to pay alot, and since many of you think i would be "alright" just using the power from the head unit, i don't think i really need A LOT more power then that. So going with a 300 dollar amp i don't think is in my best interest. Is it possible to get an amp that just provides power to the head unit, and then the unit would distribute the power equally to the 4 speakers? If that is possible, i would think i could get a cheap amp to give me that little something extra.

Let me know your opinions.

I have already spent 380 bucks (eclipse head unit and 4 boston acoustics speakers)

I sell you all three of my Zapco Z 200's for 700. Thats just 50 bucks more than one retailed for. Thats a total of 6 channels. And the greatest company to ever make amps .

If you are on a budget, I would suggest getting Sweetsounds Eclipse. Running the two front channels off two of the amps channels, and bridging the other 2 for the sub, while running the rears off of the HU. I do that with my system and they do great. I get nothing but compliments on it.
