it seems like all the BP series are 2 ohm stable and the bpx series are 1 ohm stable when parallel-bridged. is this correct?

If you download the pdf manual from the site you will see that they are 1ohm stable but they still have the same output as if run at 2ohms.

The JBL BP300.1 would be your best bet. It's your "best case scenerio" amp where the RMS of the sub equals the output of the amp at the proper ohm load. With the 300.1 you can get apx. 300 watts at 1 or 2 ohms (since 1.5 ohms is in the middle it will be the same as well), and your sub is rated 300 RMS at 1.5 ohms.
I would not recommend the 600.1 for 1 reason, according to JL the "Void Warrenty" zone for the 10W6AE starts at 500 watts. The 600.1 is apx. 600 watts at 1 or 2 ohms. You could try turning the gains WAY down, but you may still damage your sub by overpowering it.
It's ultimately your decision (and money!), but I would go with 300.1
Here's a link to JBL's Where To Buy page. This will show you "authorized" retailers.
If you want to go with "unauthorized" retailers, you can try eBay or other online stores. With these you will spend less (usually like half the MSRP), but will not get the JBL factory warrenty.

I plan on buying mine from ikesound.com   you can get a 300.1 for $130.50 plus shipping. It is the cheapest i have been able to find.
