Default What size amp would I need?

I asked before about a monaural amp for my bathroom TV, to use my
cetiling/wall speakers from a 30's record player.

I hadn't been able to find a small amp, under 50 dollars on ebay or
Amazon and that's why I asked here. Amazingly, then I found several
in some other list (I'll try tell you later when I find it again.)

Now I'm ready to buy one but my question is, What size amp would I
need? They ran from 5 watts to 14 watts and more. (The input will
come from he earphone jack on the TV.)

And I presume I can take a stereo amp and connect the sides in
parallel, if I keep polarity the same????

I have a 10" speaker and a 4 or 6" speaker, that I removed from
1930's record player, mounted to a suitable piece of chip board,
covered with grill cloth (well, tan-colored burlap that a roommate had
once used to cover the walls in his room) , and held to the wall and
ceiling with hand-made molding. (not as fancy as it sounds.) I"m
using the original crossover device (a single capacitor iirc. ) It
gives a very nice sound. .

(It's been 30 years since I nailed all this to the wall, so I don't
remember some details.

Thanks again.
