I had my JVC unit working ok with the front stock speakers. I only have front door speakers and i replaced these with some kenwood KFC-1389ie speakers (38w rms 150w max). The amp inside my headunit blew. The headunits power rating is (19w rms 50w max). The rms is exactly half that of the speakers, is this why the amp blew? because the speakers were asking too much power from it? I am planning on getting the same kenwood speakers again for the back. If im doing this should i get a 4 channel amp? Would a JBL GTO-4000 amp (4 x 50w rms, 4 x 100w max) do? If so i'll go ahead and buy it.

no cause then youwill blow you speakers.
i would buy a kenwood headunit
personall choice i like them, but jvc are shite imo
ten get a good set of comps for the front say jbl 130quid jobby
poeple will disagree but they will do the job
then if you are really fussed about back speakers as I can never remember sitting in the back f my car, therfor no speakers needed as i dont give a s**t about passengers,get some coaxles and run thm fom the headunit.
and power the componets you buy with which ever amp seems most suitable for them.
get a four channel 2 channels for the comps and the other bridged for a sub

yes i suppose you could limit the amp, but then its a waste of money just buy a lower quality amp
i would of thought the amp in your headunit blowing as a result of maybe buying a unlucky s**t headunit and/or just because its JVC
thats what I had for my first H/U the one with the changeable covers
I thought it was a good h/u
then i got my kenwood never looked back now
