Amp to Power THREE Subs - Kicker SX1250.1 or what?

[lippstuh 10+ year member]

I just picked up 3 12" Bravox EXS, here are the specs:

Size: 12"

Type: SW

Z2 + 2 ohms

Fo: 27 Hz

Vas: 70 liters

Qes: .50

Qts: .46

Xmax: 11mm

Sd: .0523 m2

SPL: 87dB/m/2.83v

Power (max/nom): 1000/500 watts

So 500 watts rms, so 3 would be 1500 rms

I want something along the lines of kicker if not better, of course keeping price around or even below kicker would be nice.

Here's what i was looking at:

Kicker SX1250.1

Kicker ZX1500.1

Now anything just as good if not better, any suggestions on what amp i should run? budget is not my first priority, but that doesn't mean i want the most expensive amp =P

shop that sold me the subs told me to run these at 1.33 ohms

This would be about right @ 1.3 Ohms

thanks for the options guys, are these amps comparable to the kicker sx1250.1? i can pick one up for $300 used...

get the zx1500.1 and run it at 1.3 ohms. Solid amp that will give those subs plenty of power.

it seems that people like the zx a bit better than the sx. i like the sx only because of the controller sxrc. i guess it's not that big of a deal.
