If you have a good 2Channel amplifier, use it, just cause it makes 150w dosent mean your going to use it...
Whats nice about using only, say 100w of it, is that your going to be able to get incredible sound quality all the way up to the 100w you will be using (if you use 100w speakers)
Now, a couple of things about speakers...
If you are really looking for a kick-ass setup, i would suggest getting INCREDIBLE front speakers and running them off the amp, and leaving the factory, if not some basic $100 speakers for the rears, and run them off the radio's power.
This will bring all the sound to the front of the vehicle and give you incredible "imaging" (the effect that the music you are listening to is coming from the dashbaord)
Next about speaker make / model / price
A major factor in getting your speakers to sound good is, getting the acoustics around them correct. ex. Dynamat (or similar product) will help tighten up your music, i would suggest getting plenty of it, and doing a layer on the outer door skin of your car (from inside of the car :-) ), and another on the inner skin (where the plastic and wires cahn be seen under the door panel)
Next, 6.5" speaker pods/baffles...will help increase mid-bass response, and again, tighten up your music.
Finally...you can spend $200 and get a decent set of component speakers almost anywhere, and they will sound good under the circumstances that you did all of the above steps.
Personally, i picked polk-audio for all my speaker / amplifier equipment, and got their MOMO line of product. Their sound quality is amazing..its definitley aimed to the audiophile customer, not someone who is looking to shatter their windows apart.
Focal, as mentioned eariler is also a great company to look into, as well as alpines type-X speakers, and some of JL audio's component sets are good too..
Best bet, go into your local high-end car-audio shop and listen to em, bring a cd that you like with you, im sure they will let you listen to the speakers with your music of choice..
Good luck man, and feel free to ask away with any more questions
