Matrix, Macrotech or Void to run 2 hogscoops?

   I´m planning to build 2 hogscoops loaded with PD 1850´s. Just got the first of the two 1850´s today so it´s still a lot of work to be done before the hogscoops are ready. Still. I need to do some planning and I need to decide what amps to go for since I guess that´s where I´ll spend my money.. And I also want to have the amps ready for when the hogscoops are.

So I´ve been looking at three different amps to run the hogscoops. 

1. Matrix XT5000G
2. Crown Macrotech MA-5000i
3. Void Infinite 7

All amps meet the required specs on paper (which basically is 1000-1250w/channel in 8 ohm) but I have no idea how they perform in real life. 

I like the idea of Matrix and Macrotech since they don´t weigh as much as the Void amps. And I really like the looks of the Macrotech but someone told me that Void is the "sh*t" and would really deliver some heavy bass? 

The music that I play is 80´s reggae (mostly 85-89 stuff) and it´s all vinyl (if that matters?). I don´t really have a budget but I still want the most bass for the buck. If two of the suggested amps will deliver the same punch and power but one will do it for less money I´ll go for the less expensive one.

So please, give me some advice about amps! And please, feel free to recomend any another amp you think think is better then the ones I´m thinking about.
