What are the three twelves? How many voice coils and what impedance per coil? This makes a huge impact on the amp you choose.

I would find an amp to deliver that power at the load those speakers present. This is necessary information for the bass you desire. Some people get lucky and install the right amp the first time. Others sit and wonder why their system doesn't thump. And then there are those who do the homework and know what they need.

linear power is high quality stuff.. haven't seen them in years, so I don't know what models are out there or for what power..

I used to have one that was rated about 1000w rms, and it tested at 1600w.
