I think you should pick BCAE1 and do some reading.

And what 4 & 5 way speakers are you talking about? That thing will need about 1000 watts RMS, so you'd be needing either a massive amp that put out 2000+ (for some head room) or two amps that did 1000+.

Yea they probably cant take a real 3000, not alot of people have even near that by any means. But regardless they will need a big as amp/amps to power them.

4 & 5 way does sound a bit bogus. Do you even know what that technically means. That means it would have to have the regular cone, midrange, tweeter, super tweeter (possibly, and hell another tweet?! Anything over 3 is bogus in my opinion even if they are of reputable brand.

Here's one :
http://www.cardomain.com/item/JBLGTO12011II
could get two of those

http://www.cardomain.com/item/JBLBPX22001
or this...

http://www.cardomain.com/item/INFREF1211A
2 of those

http://www.cardomain.com/item/MTXTA81001
2 of those..

http://www.cardomain.com/item/ROCT20001BD
one of these babies

or even
http://www.cardomain.com/item/ROCT30001BD

http://edesignaudio.com/product.php?cid=4&pid=6&cur=USD
two of those.. I personally like this option the best. 900 watts @ 2ohms. Plus they are the cheapest for there power range, and are known for being awesome amps. The others I just posted because they are strong enough, but they are all really expensive. But like I said, I almost garuntee those subs will break even under a 1000 real watts. they only have a 110oz magnet.

Look into some Boss Pyle or Pyramid amps. They have huge peak power ratings to match your 3000 watts.

Ok, enough joking, seriously, ignore that 3000 number. You want to pay attention to the 1000 (rms) number. Thats how much "constant" power the subs can actually handle. Match that with the same RMS number on an amplifier (or as close to that number) and you'll be fine. Some "beefy" brands of amps include: Hifonics, JBL (as mentioned), Profile AP series (has some larger ones), MA Audio, MB Quart (the either Q or R aa2500), etc... In the end, it depends on how much headroom you're gonna want, or if you think you'll want more options for expansion/contraction later down the road.

I think I might have found what I have been looking for... its not much but it'll have to do for now that is... I might have to put one on each sub is that a good idea???

to me, seems like too weak of an amp. Anmd if you are gonna buy that for 400, why dont you just get two Nine 1's and get way more power. 600 watts each is gonna be hard for those amps to push those subs, if they actually take 1000 watts that is. You would want and amp that has *more* power then reccommended not less.

Think of it this way, you're going to want no less than 1000 watts per sub. Now depending on the amp's (and sub's (its a Dual 4-Ohm so you can wire one of them down to 2 ohms (which is probably the best bet, since we're on a power-per-dollar plan here)) wiring options, thats gonna vary how many options you have. So basically you're either gonna need two seperate amps capable of doing 1000 (slightly more would be far better, probably closer to like 1200-1500 or so) at a two ohm load. Either that, or you'll need one large two channel amp capapble of that same wattage to each channel. There's probably more options, but those are probably gonna be the more common ones and I don't feel like thinking about that right now, its too early.

why would that be a joke? 3000 watt rms at 2 ohms, that is perfect

What do you mean wire ONE of them down to 2 ohms? I don't understand why you would wire only one and not the other.
