Default What Amp with tight budget??

My daughter's 2001 Firebird. Need loud Rock n Roll.

So, I bought her a double din Boss head unit, 4 Rockford Fosgate 6.5" Triaxial speakers, and a 12" Pioneer 1400 watt subwoofer and box.

That shot the budget to hell for us poor folk, but we need an amp. We need 5 channel with the subwoofer, right??

Budget recommendations?

Thanks!!
