Default Power Question

I'm going to add two speakers to the lower fairings. I have another Wild Boar Audio 400 watt amp and two Hertz 400watt speakers. I know the speakers can handle it, but is that going to be enough to drive these speakers. The other two speakers in the fairing are 200 watt speakers. Do i really need to get another power amp for the lower speakers or just stick with this?

200w will be just fine for them. I mean more is always better, but it will get the job done for sure.
