[QUOTE="Heeltoeclutch, post: 7482312, member: 629974"] Do you know the gauge of the power wire that is currently in the car? You said you now have an ap1500.1 and if it is more power-hungry than the amp it's replacing, it might require a beefier power wire. That's something to consider. If I were buying three 12s with your budget, I'd look at [URL="http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/store/products/DCON%252d12-S4-%E2%80%93-Sound-Solutions-Audio-12%22-300W-Single-4%252dOhm-DCON-Series-Subwoofer.html"]these.[/URL] It fits perfectly in the price range and I've been extremely happy with mine, both SQ and output-wise. If you got D4 coils, wired them to 8 ohms per sub, then wired the subs in parallel, the final impedance would be about 2.67 ohms (unless I forgot how to add resistors in parallel), which means the amp would be pushing just under 900W to all three, which is perfect.
