Default Do i have enough power for my component set???

Heres the deal im on a budget. so im trying to see if i can get away with this temporary set up, until i buy all new components for my show set up.

I have some old Rockford Fosgate Fanatic FNP series 6.5"components to use up front. They are the mid level ones. not the high, not the entry level. I got a free rockford Fosgate 100a2 amp. its rated 25x2 at 4ohm rms. Can i use this amp to run these seperates??

I previously ran the seperates off the deck in my previous car and it was a clean decent sound. just coulndt crank it to the max. I figure the stock radio is about 22 watts rms, and head units dont have a strong amp power source right?? So i am guessing my fostgate amp will sound alot better than 25 watts coming from a head unit.

So somebody please confirm my theory and let me know if i can run this for now...thanks!!

The amp will be enough. but don't expect it to get exceptionally loud though. It will sound much better than being powered by the headunit though.

yea i think i will be happy with that for now. im not looking for loud, just anything better than all but one of my speakers being blown and hearing distorted rattling coming from my speakers. so it will work for the few months i plan to run the set up, until i upgrade component speakers and amps
