That amp will be 50W peak. Typically these internal amps manage maybe 15WRMS, and when they get near max power theres a *lot* of harmonic distortion.
You're right... 50W max: that said if you're only driving 2 speakers (1 channel), then they'll push out 20W RMS @ 1% THD but by the time you get to 30W, it is 5% THD!

2 channels is 25%-30% lower than that (so you're bang-on with your guestimate of 15W RMS), so really probably not suitable for a Mk2, assuming you're going for 4 speakers....
Sable'07:factory AC + heated seats, Pioneer TS-E171ci + MVH-390BT, Mohair hood, Yoko AD08R's.
Next:Supporting mods: Coilovers (MeisterR?) and polybush, 5x braces and braided lines.
Researching: Engine options
