Default How many watts should my amp have for my system?

I got some infinities.
Rear Speakers

Peak Power: 300w
Power Handling:100w RMS
Sensitivity:92db
Frequency response: 46hz-21khz
Inpedance:4 ohms

Front Speakers

Peak Power: 270W
Power Handling: 90W RMS
Sensitivity: 92db
Frequency response: 53hz-21khz
Inpedance:4 ohms

When i go get a amp should i be looking for one with the watt power of the peak power or RMS power is my question?

What does RMS stand for any way?

Put the more powerful (better) speakers up front. I don't know exacty what RMS stands for, but it means continuous power handling. Pak power doesn't mean ****, and it's a waste of your time to even look at it.

Are you going to be running any subs?
