Can I get good volume with only 2watts?

Maybe.

Maybe 4 watts?

Just built a Bottlehead S.E.X. amp (2 watts at 8 Ohms)for all of $550 and it sounds way better than it should. OK, 106 dB horns, but still...

It can be bridged for mono (you would then need to build two) and produce 4 watts.

4 watts for 97 dB speakers is about the same as 120 watts for 82dB speakers and that's done all the time.
