Choosing an Amp

[MilwBucks8]

Any help would be appreciated. I currently have 3 alpine 10's running off of one merlon amp. i know the amp is more than likely crap, but i got it cheap. anyway i have the three speakers bridged into each other but only one actually has a decent output. do i need a three channel amp or what do i have to do to have the three subs put out the same sound? any help would be appreciated

i would actually just try and find a decent 1 channel mono block amp for the subs

but why is it that one sub has sufficient output but the other two dont?

im not sure honestly. is the merlin amp a monoblock or a mutli channel? also check the connections on the "sub jumps/bridges"..

its a mono. could it be that maybe i need a bigger gauge wire? because the connection is good

that could be it.... again also check the connections.

all the subs are in the same box right? and the same series of subs?
