need some help

I just bought this amp @ bestbuy. Its a rockford fosgate 700S. Says it pushes 751 watts. Its only a 2 channel amp and the guy at the store told me it would run 3 MTX Thunder 6000 subs. I asked a friend of mine how I would run 3 subs off 2 channels and he said to run 4 wires (2 - and 2 +) instead of just 2 wires.( - & +) off one channnel. Im guessing if I did this the one sub on one channel would get 350 watts and the other subs sharing a channel would get 175 watts each im guessing this is @ 2 OHMS...this right? If so is there a diff way so that each subs can get 250 watts each? (250 is the RMS on these MTX Thunder 6000's)???

Or should I take this amp back and get a diff amp? If so what kind of amp would I need? 4 channel? mono? or...????

run them off 1 channel of the amp. depending on the vc configuration and how many vc's you have, there are different ways to wire it to get different impedences. get these specs, then wire them properly to get a 4 ohm load and run all 3 subs to 1 channel of the amp (the bridged channel).
