Talking Car Amp Help!!

Hello all,
First apologies if this has been covered but having spent ages looking I've finally given in and need some input. Even if its just pointers to the correct thread!?

I am stripping out my headunit and from reading and research It appears I need an Amp to get the sound from the PC to the speakers via a soundcard.
Now i know next to nothing about amps so can someone correct / enlighten me.

Am I correct in assuming that the sound comes out of the pc as stereo, into the amp either as stereo or split into 2 sets of stereo streams then on to the speakers?

Is there an issue with using a 2 channel amp into 4 speakers?

Do I need a 4 channel amp?

Could I use 2 2channel amps?

I am keeping the stock speakers and am not after an amazing sound system, just a replacement to my car stereo running from the pc. I'll be happy if it is the equivelant of a mid range 4x50 system.

Can anyone recommend me a cheap and more importantly small amp? (Looking at a maximum of about £30)

Found this on Fleabay.

Would something like this work or am I being a complete moron.

Cheers all!
