I have mild/minor dimming with 600 watts RMS on two JL Audio 12W3v2's with a Hifonics ZX6000. It's a class A/B amp though, so I'd probably have less current draw and less dimming if it were a decent class D amp like a Phoenix Gold Xenon x600.1 though.

I would say you would be cool with 800 watts RMS as well. I'm going to try more and more wattage, little by little, though, and see what happens. It'll involve borrowing people's amplifiers, however. :P
