[QUOTE="Doconpoint1, post: 4744615, member: 595123"] Hey, this is a definate addition, but i was thinking that in the future if i had the money i'd like to add a 3rd sub and had some questions. How much of a hassle would it be to do this? I already know that if I ever did add a 3rd sub that i would have to upgrade my Alt. But i wanted to know about amps. Currently i'm running 2 12" CVXs with 4 Ohm DVCs. And i'm powering them with a Kicker KX1200.1 and have them wired down to 1ohms. So i've read that mixing amps isn't a good idea, but what if they're the same brand and same line, but just different ratings? Because i was thinking about powered the 3rd sub with a less powerfull amp, or another KX1200.1 but run it at 2ohms, would that just be better?. As far as wiring goes i'm already running 0/1 guage. I like the bass that i have now, and i have my bass boost on 0 essentially, mabye, maybe a fraction of a hair past that, not even a quarter past. So basically 0. But i've become somewhat addicted lol, and i know 1 more sub could put a big smile on my face. Oh, forgot to mention that i'm using a ported box now, and if this were to become a reality, i would like to use a ported box for all 3 as well. [/QUOTE]
