Matching a monoblock/5-Channel amp to a 10'' Kicker 500RMS

[GZ123]

Hi, I decided on getting a Kicker Vl7r 102 that works on 500 watt RMS.

A storefront gave me a price and also a price for a Kicker ‏cta800.1 monoblock.
Is this Kicker monoblock an overkill for this Kicker sub, and will a strong 5-channel amp be sufficient?

I'd like suggestions for a good monoblock that won't make me broke, or a strong 5-channel amp good enough to run this sub without a monoblock.

Currently running stock everything on a 2010 Ford Focus.

For a cheap monoblock I recommend a JP8. $200, does more power than rated, and it can be wired to 0.5ohm.
5 channel..someone else can chime in.

Check out the Down4Sound JP95 5-channel amp. It may be the 5-channel amp you are looking for.
