A good amp for powering three 12" subs? each rated 500 RMS/1000 Max

[URGE25 10+ year member]

Can Anyone recommend A good amp for powering three 12" subs? each sub is rated 500 RMS/1000 Max.

I am looking within 300 range, and used is ok as long as it works!

Also I read people saying that the MB Quart ONX1.1500D is a good one. Then I also checked out the Autotek M15001 Mean Machine, and it has the same exact aesthetics? Can someone chime in here as to why these two amps appear so alike? Which one would be better?

they are made by the same company thats why.you need an amp that does power at 2.67 or .75 ohms if the subs are dual 4

mb quart discus would be better but the onyx is still a solid amp

the mm 4000 is more equivalent to the onyx 1500 fyi. i'm talking about the new ones and not the old silver one

I would look into either a brz1700 so you have the extra legroom to work with and wire it at .75ohms or I would look into a used kicker zx1500.1 and wire it at 2.67ohms

You will be fine wiring it to .75 ohms

sundown saz 1200 or 1500 or a dc 1.2 or 2.0 ant of them will work fine at the ohms you need , i just dont see the hifonics amp working at .67 for very long and also dont think the out put at 2.67 will be very loud
