[QUOTE="kross, post: 3154266, member: 577729"] You posted the sub specs under the "amp" section. Some googling says: No. of Channels : 2-Channels 4-Ohm RMS @ 450 Watts x 2-Channel 2-Ohms RMS @ 540 Watts x 2-Channel Mono RMS @ 1080 Watts Bridged MAX : 2600 Watts It doesn't say how many ohms in bridged mode. Unfortunately, no matter how you wire it, you won't get max power out of your subs. One option is to wire 3 voice coils in series, for a 6-ohm load, for each of the channels. This won't give anywhere near maximum power, though. Another option is to wire each speaker's voice coils in series, then each speaker in parallel, so each speaker is 4 ohms, and the 3 of them in parallel for a single 1.3 ohm load, attached to the amp in bridged mode. But I have no idea if your amp can handle that. And even if it could, wiring the voice coils in series doesn't produce maximum output. Option #3 is just like above, but instead of all 3 speakers wired in parallel, wire two speakers in parallel, for a 2-ohm load, and attach it to one channel, and the other speaker attached to the other channel as a 4-ohm load. This will probably be the only viable choice. Basically, that amp is not a suitable choice for your subs.
