You need double the power if you want to run 3 of them. If you get 2 ohm subs you can run either 1.34 or a 3 ohm load. If you run at 1.34 you need a 1 ohm stable amp that will push 1000 watts at 1ohm. If you run at 3 you need one around 1200 watts at 2 ohm because when you run it at 3 it's gonna put out slightly less. If you go with 4 ohm models you can run at 2.67 ohm. Again you will be around 3 ohm so you need to get something around 1200 watts.

For me, that would be a terrible setup, but for you, it may be great. Thats kind of a baited question that no one but you can answer. Go to a store and listen to the subs to see if you like them.

If you want some suggestions we need to know this:

1. What is your budget?
2. Are you buying online?
3. What kind of music do you listen to?
4. Do you already have a box? Wires? HU?
5. Is space a concern? (i'm assuming no, since you want 3 subs)
6. Are you DIY on the install or paying to have someone else do it?
7. If you need a box, are you building it or buying it, and does the budget provided include the box and wiring, or is it just for your subs and amp?

If the amp is 1 ohm stable it will be fine, you will be able to parallel wire it down to 1.33 ohm

Even if the 600.1 is 1 ohm stable, it's still not enough power
