I went to look for a price on that amp, and I just realized the the JBL I reccomended for you wouldn't be the best way to go. That JBL is rated 80 x 4... but at 2 ohms. The speakers are 4 ohms.
You will need to look for something that puts around 90 watts at 4 ohms. I know the US Acoustics USX2100 puts of 100 x 4 at 4 ohms. It is only $99 brand new at The Zeb. Those CDTs can probably handle 100 x 4. But don't run them that high initially, they will need a break in period. I am sure you can look around some more and find some other options if you don't want to go with the US Acoustics. Just be sure to look for 90 x 4 at 4 ohms not 2 ohms. You can vary on the wattage by a little (I am just saying 90 because that is the reccomended power from CDT) the ohm load is what is important.

Good luck

Oops! Sorry man, I'm just being an idiot lately.

Anyway, just look around for a 4 channel amp that is rated around 90 watts per channel at 4 ohms.

This is a good budget amp... http://www.lanzar.com/itempage.asp?model=VIBE418
