now this is for dual voice coil 6 ohm speakers, but you get and idea how to wire them in parallel...

i did i love it

2 8ohms and 1 4ohm will give you a 2 ohm load.

2 dual4ohm voice coils wired in series/parallel with a dual8ohm voice coil wired parallel will give you a 2 ohm load

if you know just what speakers you are wanting to go with and what ohm load at the amp you want to accomplish i can tell you exactly what you need and how to wire it.

thanks. that helps alot. i traded out an 800 watt pioneer mono amp w/ 2 of the blue ts-w301r subs. i'm researching them but i plan to get another amp, and sub to go with it. but i'm looking to see what my best way to go is. thanks guys for the input

CORRECTION//// . i traded FOR an amp and 2 12's

i dont know what all has been said, didnt feel like reading, but heres my thoughts. 3 12's depending how you run them (ported or sealed or whatever) can be a handicap to the over all system. What I mean is this, how much room do you honestly have? For 3 12's sealed thats easy volume wise, but will your truck allow a straight edge rectangle basic box to be 40-42 inches wide? More than likely it's going to be VERY tight. Ported, thats and easy 7 cubes needed after all displacement. An easy 9 before anything. Lots of port is needed for 3 decent 12's.

That being said, if you have the room, do you NEED 3 12's. More times than not in a daily, quality is not on the same side of the fence as quantity. Amazing isn't it?

Do you have the electrical power to properly run a 1200+ watt amp? More than likely again, you don't. And by properly I mean PROPERLY, not good enough. Full potential is not at half the equipment.

Another thing, if your not careful the ohm loads can get tricky and just be plain gay. .6 ohms, .3 ohms, manufacturers will NOT warranty .66 ohms or whatever it comes out to be, as 1 ohm. Although your system NEVER sees a true .6 ohms. The ohm load fluctuates rediculously in most street applications, but they don't want you to know about that.

Just be careful if you do go with 3 because it may not be the best setup for your ride. I tend to work with single sub setups or even number sub setups, it's easier to work with and more symmetrical.

I RESPECT THAT. MY GOAL HERE IS TO SEE THE BEST ROUTE TO TAKE. HONESTLY, I LIKE THE LOOK OF 3 SUBS. I DID HOWEVER HOOK UP THE TWO I HAVE LAST NIGHT, AND THEY SOUND PRETTY GOOD LIKE THAT. THANKS FOR THE INPUT THOUGH.

alright, heres the new info. i've got the two 12's in and they sound great. regardless of opinions i still plan to get 3 12's. the new questio is this. will the pioneer gm-7300m 800 watt amp i have push all 3 or should i get another amp for the third? the amp is a mono channel amp and is 2 ohms @14.4 volts dc with thd at 0.8percent. will it handle all three without damaging them? or should i just buy a 3 or 400 watt amp to run just that one sub.i don't know but just looking for you guys thoughts on this. thanks
