In this paper we define, for each aspherical orientable 3-manifold $M$ endowed with a \emph{torus splitting} $\c{T}$, a 2-dimensional fundamental $l_1$-class $[M]^{\c{T}}$ whose $l_1$-norm has similar properties as the Gromov simplicial volume of $M$ (additivity under torus splittings and isometry under finite covering maps). Next, we use the Gromov simplicial volume of $M$ and the $l_1$-norm of $[M]^{\c{T}}$ to give a complete characterization of those nonzero degree maps $f\co M\to N$ which are homotopic to a ${\rm deg}(f)$-covering map. As an application we characterize those degree one maps $f\co M\to N$ which are homotopic to a homeomorphism in terms of bounded cohomology classes.
