Amp for 3 RE Audio SE12's ??? Hifonics? Kicker? Alpine?

[RCobra07 10+ year member]

UPDATES BELOW IN BOLD!! Added new choices and deleted a few. I am open to any thing I may have left out as well. Budget is $450 shipped or less, but I would really prefer right around $400.

I am looking for something that will run three of these in a 3 cu.ft. sealed enclosure pretty well.

 

(Insert)

I have made up my mind that I will be running (2) SE15's from RE Audio; so load can either be an overall 1 or 2 ohm mono.

Running off of stock charging system in a Dodge Durango with an upgraded battery, Optima. I will probably upgrade the Big 3 as well, and possibly add a capacitor and maybe a second battery; however, I am definitely not looking to upgrade or add alternators. I would like to stick to a single amp to run both subs.

I am considering the following, any suggestions????

Hifonics Brutus BXI2608

Kicker ZX1500.1

Lanzar OptiDrive 2000D

Rockford Fosgate T1500-1BD

(Added) Sundown SAZ-1500D

(Added) Crunch GP3000D

(Added) Power Acoustik A3000DB

 

(Eliminated) Alpine PDX 1.1000

(Eliminated) Elemental Designs NinE.1

(Eliminated) Rockford Fosgate T10001BD

(Eliminated)Alpine MRP-M2000

Thank you all for any help/suggestions!!!!

I'd probably pick the Lanzar or Fosgate.

hifonics is allways a solid choice.

Hifonics is a great solid choice amplifier, but maybe not as powerful as you would need.

Thanks for the replies everyone I think I might switch up the (3) 12's to (2) SE15's instead to get this to a 1-ohm load with esentially the same cone area.

man i still say the hifonics would rock your socks off. would probably give a solid 1K to each sub... might would need to upgrade the big 3 with ANY amp you go with though, cause with each volt dropped you lose quite a bit of powaaaa.

the sundown does plenty of power as well. if it still has warranty hook it up.
