I'll preface this by saying that electronics is not my area of expertise, and no matter how many websites I've read, the black magic of watts and RMS power is still very much a mystery! With that in mind, I was hoping you knowledgeable lot might be able to give me some easy-to-follow advice.

I have a head unit already (https://www.classiccarstereo.co.uk/classic-car-stereos/autosound-classic-car-stereo/ccs-spindle-mount-dab-radio/), but I'm very much in the dark as to which amplifier and parcel shelf-mounted speakers to pair it with. What would you recommend?

I was looking at this amp (https://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product_m-sony-xm-s400d_p-33280.htm) – the price is right, as is the size.

I'm not looking for the very best, it just needs to sound good and be loud enough to compensate for a silly exhaust and no sound deadening at 70mph.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks guys. Could you give me a steer as to what power of speakers I should be looking at?
