need help with audio

ok, recently iv purchased 2 infinity 1030w subs, and their powered by a 769w amp thats working out exelent! my problem is my front speakers, i have 2 pionere 220w (thats what the box says) speakers with mid, and tweets in then... now i have 2 problems;

1) iv installed them directly into the factory harness, it fit fine, but it only puts out 50w a speaker.... for some reason i got a buzzing, how the hell could they have blown? all the connections are fine

2) if i run a 400w amp thru the fronts as long as their not pumped up at 100% will that be ok?

It's better to be overpowered then underpowered.
