Amp for 3-JL 10w3's ported

[focused313 10+ year member]

CA,

I have 3-10w3's in a ported enclosure that I recently bought. The subs are older, born date is in 2000 (as you can see in the pics). The subs are 300w RMS each, dual 2ohm. I have the subs wired for a 1.34 ohm load. My budget is $200 for an amp. If that's unrealistic, please let me know. It's in a 07 Dodge Charger if that matters. I already have an amp ran with 4 ga. power and ground and would like something that I could use with that wiring. The amp I have does 600w @ 1ohm and I'm sure I'm underpowering the subs (that amp was for 1 jl12w3v3)Rap and r&b are the main genres of music being played.

First off, how much wattage should be feeding these subs total?

Any recommendations on amp that would give me that power at or below that price?

Willing to use ebay and online sites. Sorry, no private sellers from the forum.

Thanks in advance.

A Hifonics BXi 1208d could probably be found for real close to your price since they are on closeout at many online retailers. I would think that any amp that gives you between 1,000 and 1,200 watts RMS @ 1 ohm would be perfect for your 1.34 ohm final load. The Hifonics BXi 1208d is a tad bit over rated, but still should be about right for your needs!

oddly enough, that's what's in my firefox ebay search right now. 1208d. I saw one on craiglists for even cheaper......any other suggestions. I've had nothing but good results from Hifonics (minus one amp), so that seems like the best suggestion.
