I'm assuming you had all 4 wired in parallel at 1 ohm. Just wire all 3 in parallel for a final load of 1.33 ohms. Your amp will be putting out slightly less power because of the higher impedance but it will be split up amongst 3 subs instead of 4 so they'll be receiving the exact same power as before. Just make sure the new box is to spec for the 3 subs and you're set to go //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
