Amp suggestions

I am building a CarPC for my truck so I am going to need to get an Amp to power my speakers.

I have factory speakers.

What kind of power do I need for something like this?
I dont need to blow the doors of other cars, but I like it to sound good.

I know one of the first questions im gonna get is budget, and I dont know just because Im not sure what a decent Amp is gonna run me.

I guess I would like something that is a good value ya know? Price/performance.

Also if I were to add a single 10in Sub should I get a separate amp for that or get some sort of multichannel amp to do it all?

Thanks

You DO NOT want to run any kind of amp on your factory speakers.

I really have seen small quality amps do numbers on the factory speakers. I was shocked too and surprisingly the spks can hold up to about 45w if done right.
