Newbie... not sure what amp to get

[kirbybirby]

I have a Pioneer FH-X70BT head unit (4 ohms), 4 JBL GTO638 speakers (2 ohms), and a JBL LC-S1200W sub (4 ohms). What amp(s) do I need to buy? And also, for example, does 85Wx4 mean 85W to each speaker/channel or 85W total??

85 watts to each speaker. You can easily run all this from a nice 5 ch amp.

Precision Power PPI P900.5 Phantom 900W 5-Channel Amplifier

Or if you're on a tighter budget, this should be just fine as well:

PowerBass ASA 700.5X (ASA700.5X) 5-Channel Amplifier

That PPI amp is a good suggestion.

Thank you that really helps me to complete my system because I had no idea what to get.

Don't overlook powerbass, they're solid.

Good to know. Don't wanna sink too much money into it so I may go for the powerbass

For speakers that low you could probably find an A/B in your price range
