Max safe power

I am currently running 3 RF hx2 12 in subs(2 dual 4 1 is dual 2ohm) on a powerbd 500.1 birthsheet states 727 @2 ohm and I am running at .8ohm gain set at 70% not sure how much power subs are seeing. 0g for power and ground stock alt and optima yellow top, but anyways for my question I am wondering how much power I can actually run to the subs I have another powerbd 500.1 amp and a powerbd 1000.1 amp (1235 on it's birth sheet) I was thinking about strapping the 2 500 and running the 2 dual 4 ohm subs on them at 1ohm and running the 1000 on the dual 2 ohm @ 1ohm. I know the subs are supposed to be 500rms/1000 max but I have seen them take alot more. Running the subs in a 6.8cuft ported box tuned at 36hz. My brother in law has a powerbd 1500.1 he would trade me for the 2 power bd 500.1's. So I could just use it on all 3. So what do you guys think just how much clean power can I feed the subs? I do use a scope and a multi-meter to set my gains.

you need to just lose the odd sub and run two of them there is no real way to run all three that's not just backyard as hell.

oh and I have ran 2000 rms to two of them set-up properly the coils take it fine the suspension of the sub is what I fought with the most.

Well I can get my hands on another dual 2 ohm and maybe do a 4 sub set up.
