It depends on how you wire them. Is your amp 1 ohm stable?

Well, the slash series puts out 50 watts from 1 ohm to 4 ohms. If i wire the subs paralell, then it would be a 1.33 ohm load. So basically i need to know if 500 watts is enouph power for all three.

youll be underpowering each sub by like 80 watts but i here that JL amps are underrated so you should be alright

I just found out that they are 1.5-40 ohm @500 watts. Does this mean it will not power a 1.33 ohm load?
