Well when you wire them, your going to get 6 ohms or 1.5 ohms.

Those can be wired at 1.5 ohms together so I'd look for a 1-ohm stable amplifier that can do atleast 2,000 watts. Aside from the usual Kicker KX2500.1 , Orion 2500d, etc you could try MMats amplfiers which are supposed to be pretty good quality from what I hear (built in Florida USA) but they are pretty pricey.
