Need help finding the right size amp

I'm putting in 2 12" 500w rockford fosgate subs, 2 6.5" RF speakers in front, and 2 6x9 RF speakers in the rear. The speakers all run at 120w max power. What size amp will I need. I don't really want to spend the extra money on something that I don't really need.

your most likely going to need 2 amps (1 mono for sub, and 1 4-channel for speakers)

sorry, max power on the subs. I was thinking about amping the mids, but I wasn't sure if I'd really need to. I may not just to cut costs.

u can always do something like a P400-4 with the mids on the front channels and subs on the rear. that should be about what ur looking for power wise and would sound pretty nice. installs a little more difficult but the overall price isnt too bad.

Im also selling some refurbished rf amps at a decent price as well
