      Im partial to memphis amps so the mc-1500 should poud the hellout  of them.  500 watts each.  I got the belle and same subs and i think im going deaf. so i just unhooked one of the subs.  1 12" w6v2 is enough.

      3 500/1s would be awesome, I ran 2 12w6v2 with 2 500/1s in my RSX-S, and it was awesome.

      Gotta go with Alpine Guy, 3 500/1's would give you way better sound quality than one amp wired to 3 subs....  Cleaner, louder bass... not much more too say
