Will this power 160W 6 Ohm Speakers?

It all depends how you're planning to use this setup. It should be fine for desktop or a small room, but I wouldn't recommend it for anything larger than 20 sq.m, especially if you expect them to go loud.
If your feeling adventurous you can build this type of amp yourself pretty easily. Check out this site if your interested http://www.41hz.com/forums/content.php
I have the version of that amp with SD card powering some cheeeep 5x7s in the cabin of my sailboat. It's nice for setting the mood at anchor...but not enough to generate a grinding thump. It's no better than a really cheap car stereo. Power will be limited to what comes out of the wall wart without a car battery and it may hum.

Today is the day I make a choice, of which to buy...
Still wondering if I can hook the Dayton 800 straight to my Scarlett 2i2, if not I'll just get the Lepai amp...
Looks like you can, but you still need a speaker amp.
I think you'll have to connect them the other way round: Scarlett 2i2 --> Lepai --> Dayton 800 --> speakers
Lepai TA2020 + Floorstanders /w monster 12" woofers! On a small to even medium room = awesome (speakers were on the efficient side @ 92dB)
That's great.
I find that the Lepai does pretty good up to around 12 or 1 o'clock on the dial before distorting. But of course that depends on the strength of the input signal.
For a sub, I'd go with the Dayton 10" or 12" subs you were considering. I have not listened to them, but have heard just as good a things about them as the Lepai. The SUB 1200 digs a little deeper at it's low end than the 10" version, so that might be nice to have for some dubstep to get that room vibration effect that is from below 30hz content. But otherwise, either of those could be a very good choice in that $100 price range.
Be sure to add your voice to the thread about the Lepai budget system:

Good for other people to hear what other combinations of speakers people are using and how it's working. It's just hard for anyone to believe that a $20 amp can do that good a job
