I assume you have them wired up like this?:

According to Crutchfield, the amp puts out 400 watts when it's run at a 2-ohm load, and 200 watts if it's run at a 4-ohm load.  133 watts to each sub is definitely not much at all but they will work just fine.  I think you'd be better off just pushing two subs, or getting a more powerful amplifier like the JBL BP1200.1, which puts out 1200 watts RMS @ 2 ohms.

NO that amp puts out 600 X1 @ 2ohms, each sub should have 350 watts rms. I would suggest you look at the JBL 1200.1 or another amp that puts out a little over 1000 watts rms @ 2 ohms. Now since your subs are dual 4ohm you should wire them in Series Parallel http://www.audiobahninc.com/tech/wiring/Series_Parallel_dual_4_ohm.pdf for a 2.67 ohm load. If you wire them in parallel you will have a 1/2 ohm load and not too many amps are stable at 1/2 ohm. And series would give you a 24 ohm load and you would not get very much power out of your amp.

I definitely agree with ethan, that is not much power for each sub but if you aren't looking for a lot of bass two perfects will work just as well.

Dam I hate when that happens, by the time I hit post essmith69 had already said the same thing that I said. And for some reason my delete button is not showing up.

What kind of sound are you looking for? Something that sounds good or just something that just pounds? Maybe something in-between?  Also to answer your question if you got 3 subs and 2 amps the sound would differ between the 2 different sets. So I would not suggest that you go that route. Now if you got 2 amps and 4 subs that would work.
