the amp you are reffering to is 1600 peak!   it only does 800 rms if that. I had a friend that was running 800 to each one of his 1206t's and they still could have used some more power,   I would look at a bigger amp, or lower subs.   I was really not impressed at all with these amps.   A inexpensive amp to power those subs would be a SPL Z1X-3000D   I believe they are about $300-$400

I don't know where you're getting your numbers from nwbsktbll.... The amp is rated at 800 watts RMS (12 volt rating) at 2 ohms. The woofers can only take 1100 watts RMS at 2 ohms.
The Intake amp series from Audiobahn isn't really respectable, and there's no way you would want to run 3 1206Ts to that amp. They'd be starving for power. Not to mention, you'll have a difficult time trying to wire them down to 2 ohms...
And just for an idea of what you'll need, I have 2 AW1206T s   powered by a A180001DT. I needed a new alternator for the power supply (200amp H/O alternator).    I doubt with my setup another woofer could be added on...Never mind the fact that putting another one on would be rediculous. You'll be fine with one of those woofers, because they pound hard....
