Lol.

3 subs is always a funky load. As was mentioned... what subs are you using? And do you have the proper airspace for the trio?

Depending on the subs, some companies offer a Dual 1.4. (3) D1.4's would get you right there to 1ohm (just under). Maybe JL's 3ohm subs?

All things being equal... (3) subs @ 1.33 is going to be louder than (2) @ 1. The difference between those loads is virtually negligible. And your amp will be running ever so slightly more efficiently anyway, so the difference is even smaller.

Perhaps (4) smaller sized subs? Or just go with (2) larger ones? i.e.- if you were thinking about (3) 12's, get (4) 10's or (2) 15's

sorry, havent been online in a while, as for the subs, iv not got them picked yet, needed to know what to get before i buy... i have 50" long i can play with for box room they are going in the excab of an s10, i have 3 old school solo kicker s12c back there now but they only require .66 cubic ft. so ill be looking for subs that dont like alot of cubic ft. never thought of running 2 15's, they dont have alot of punch do they? and still question is, my amp is 1500watt, so if i get three subs, i need them to be 500 a peice or two subs i need them 750 or less????

just do 2 subs or 1 sub and build a nice box, you will have better output, i have actually owned 2 of those amps and they want nothing below 1 ohm.

ps i have a re sx 12 d2 that would pair up nice to that amp 200 shipped one of the loudest re subs you can buy

also a good deal that would work perf with your amp
