Will the Infinity Kappa series 6.5" component speakers handle a punch 500a2? They say they are RMS:90W and the max power:270W. I don't want to take a chance on plowing them!
The speakers are 90W RMS - 2-ohms advertised, but really around 2.7.
The amp (I believe) is 125W@4-ohms, 250W@2-ohms.
You can blow speakers with any amp (too big or too small) (except maybe a HU internal one), or you can run them safely with any amp if you don't turn it up and are careful, but that's probably more power than I would be comfortable running to them.
Anyone else have suggestions?

I agree with TigerHeli. I prefer having extra headroom in regards to amplification. An amp that is not working hard will sound better, run cooler and last longer than one that is operating nearer its limits. That being said, we are talking car audio here, and the tendancy seems to be to push everything to the limit and beyond. If you can use some discretion with the gains and the volume control you will be fine. If you are given to pushing the volume until something is maxed out, you will probably be shopping for new speakers sooner rather than later.
