Wow three of those beasts. Im not sure as to what would be a good amplifier, but to power all of those things to their fullest it will take one hell of an amp (and charging system). Off the top of my head you might look at a Hifonics Brutus 1500D, JBL 1200.1, and various other extremely high power amplifiers. Look at the 1000watt+ amplifiers thread to maybe find a good candidate. Keep in mind though that in order to power 3 of those to their fullest it will take at least 2 of these high power amps but I dont know how you would use two of them unless two of them can be strapped together, otherwise its 3 of these high power monsters.

Right now, sounddomain.com has a very, very good sale on DEI 1100D amps... you won't find new ones that cheap very often. Three of these should work very nicely.

if you spent that kinda money on subs, why dont you go for three 1000/1's and one big *** alternator. no one amp (that the average guy has acess to) will provide an adequate amount of power to those things.

three of them, wow.

You are going to need tons of power to really drive them, I would say at LEAST 600-750w rms a piece.

I'm not to fimilar with the ohms on those subs but I sure it is going to be hard to match up all three of those subs up with a single amp.

I would say the easy way to run those subs is running a JL 1000/1 on each.

What ever route you take you are going to have to take a serious look at your electrical system. You are going to need at the very least a upgrade alternator and a nice battery under the hood.

yea, with the 3 ohm subs, you wont be able to load them to a single amp without it going into protection mode.

YEA, ALL OF THE ABOVE,

YOU WILL NEED A GOOD ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, I WOULD GO WITH 3 JL 1000.1, IF YOU WANT TO SAVE A COUPLE

THOUSAND BUCKS, EARTHQUAKE MAKES A 9000 WATT RMS AMP @ .25 OHMS , Your sub is 1.5 ohms per voice coil, with that $750 amp you would push like 4500 RMS @ .5 ohms, not bad for $750. Its worth looking into, they sell them on ebay.
