please drop the ghetto slang. it's difficult to understand you.

the MTX amplifier is the best of the three.
Kicker is even better than any of the ones you listed.

the current demands of the amplifier are a direct result of the RMS wattage it produces. That won't be a factor of brand, so nah the Kicker is just as efficient as the MTX since both are of class-D design.

what is the impedance of each sub?
how many coils?
what is the RMS power handling for each sub?

tell me those three things and I can suggest an exact model number of amplifier.

here are the stats for it but u get dif opions about the RMS people say 300rms others say 500rms

Ok Red to clarify something the RMS is 300 for those type R's you could go with the Kicker 800.2
or The JbL BP600.1 could be Ideal for them if ur short on cash.Just wire those subs in Parallel to get a 1 ohm load and the Jbl amp is 1 ohm stable so there you go.

The Kicker 800.2 is a terrific amplifier.
Again, the current needed to power the amplifier is a direct correlation to the power output.
take the RMS wattage the amp produces at the load presented, and divide by 12.
That's your approximate current demand from the car's electrical system regardless of who makes the amplifier.
