i currnetly have a brahma 12 and it pounds. Everyone always ask this question.( i did too before i bought my brahma). They are basically the same but i no believe the XXX will get slightly louder so it depends on the price whichever is cheaper. The XXX also looks a little nicer so if i had to do it all over i would get the XXX just for the look. In regards to power handling u should be able to put about 1500 to 1700 watts into each for daily driving more for burps.( depending on enclouser). In regards to the amp i dont know too much about that model so put up some specs.

they will work well with that amp but could do so much more with more power u could hit them with about 1600-2000 watts each and maybe 3000 watts each for burps

You won't be disappointed with a XXX, I have not listened to a brahma yet, except in extreme vehicles but that is a different story.
I love my XXX and wouldn't trade it for the world, unless it was 2 XXX 12's or something. I've had my share of testing between some subs out there and some do come close in output, but they needed more power then what I had going to mine, and at the time I had 800rms to the sub.
I can't say the XXX all out the best sub, because it isn't, no sub is. It all depends on individual cicumstances, and it happens to work for mine.
I think alot of people will also recommend certain subs, because they work well for a spl sub, and I feel alot of noobs aren't looking for an all out spl sub. I find that most people like to have alittle midbass coming from there sub and that is where some will look away from the XXX, unless it is in a Snail Shell or an ABC enclosure, because the XXX's aren't really made to go above 60hz, and for a sub, it souldn't.

I have no problems at all with the power I have going to my XXX. I have a kole audio q1-3000d. So atleast 1800rms.
I should really test it to be sure

i would just like to point out that the Brahma handles MAJOR CLEAN power, i put well over 3Kw RMS to a single B15 for like 6 months, and when i sold it the coil and suspension were flawless!.... yeah, when you first send these subs lots of power they stink for a minute, its NORMAL, the XXX does the same thing....
the only time i suggest a XXX over a Brahma is when you got more than 3-4Kw RMS.... also NO sub is safe from distortion, they will fail if you send them distortion....
