Hello I need help with finding a 5 channel amp that will support the speakers i bought for my 06 Toyota Camry. I purchased 2 pairs of full range JBL 6x9’s that run at 70rms (peak 300w) @4 ohms and I'm looking to buy a Rockford fosgate 12”sub that runs at 250rms (peak 500w) @2ohms. I figured the amp i need should have an rms about 500-600, but feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. An amp that’s not to expensive would be great. Idk if I’d need to change the sub and I’m also don’t which way I’d have to wire everything (parallel/in series) depending on the amp.

Idk if I’d need to change the sub and I’m also don’t which way I’d have to wire everything (parallel/in series) depending on the amp.

That amp is perfect for those specific speakers. The sub is a dual 4ohms which will parallel to single 2ohms load to the tune of 440w rms.
But be aware that you must turn the gains all the way down before powering up. After that, turn up deck volume to the maximum you usually play at. Next turn up the "voice" gain till you are comfortable with the volume. Lastly, turn up sub gain until you are comfortable with the volume.
Remember that the amp's rms is almost double of the sub's. When you hear distortion, dial it back a bit and leave it there for safety.
There is a precise way of doing this with a multimeter but I am a stubborn mule that has not employed the technique.
