Default Need Help Buying an Amp please

So I have been reading here and have made some purchases for my 2002 rcsb, and thanks to all that have posted info. Where im stuck is what or how many amps do I need. I dont know **** about car stereos so any help is much appreciated.

Heres a list of what I bought so far.
Pioneer DEH-P5200HD
JL AUDIO TR 650-CSi
Rec Cab box for 2 10's from subthump.com
2x Kicker 10CVT104 shallow mount
Deck install kit
4ga amp install kit

Going to be using my iphone and thats about it, radio once in awhile.

Can I use 1 amp for everything? if not what else do i need to buy?
Thanks for any help.

just use one amp for the subs. 750.1 would be a good choice

edit: 750.1 is a mono-block kicker amp

If only have subs then do one but for aftermarket door speakers they will be louder and more clear with an amp on them. As far as a sub amp I go with atomic best equipment ive ever used but then again ive got 2 15s 1600w amp and a kinetik 1400

are you putting new door speakers in too? If so, look for an old Kicker ZX550.3, three channel amp.

yes I am adding components to the doors, I dont think that 550.3 would have enough power for the subs from what I have read but I will def. look into it. thanks for the info.

I have heard the zx750.1 w these subs is very good, I dont need a ton of bass since I dont listen to rap very often.

the ZX550.3 will do about 450 to the pair of subs, more than ample. Then plenty of power to the doors as well...Ive done 2-3 systems using that same setup, perfect for a RC.
The 750.1 is an awesome amp, actually more than you need, good power, they can clamp 850-900 watts. Maybe ZX500.1 if you choose the two amp route.
