I'm getting boston sx60's component speakers put in my car and i'm searching for the right amp for them. They are rated at 65 W RMS.

I've been looking at the Alpine F300 and the Alpine KTP-445

Will these do a good job pushing my front and rear speakers? I don't blast my music ever, i'm going for crystal clear sound. Also will a 65+ RMS amp make a considerable sound quality difference over these 45 and 50 RMS amps or just allow me to make ears bleed?

Any alternatives if these won't do?

Well I'm just using Crutchfield as reference, I can get them at a cheaper price. I'd rather stay with a name I can trust as far as audio goes. I've witnessed off-brand amps overheating and possessing a short life-span

Will I notice any difference between a 45RMS and 70RMS amp powering these speakers (65 RMS) if I don't blast my music? I also heard that buying a stronger amp and lowering the power puts much less stress on the amp and increases lifespan, is this significant?
