A friend of mine juss bought 3 kicker solo baric l5's and a rockford fosgate p500.2. He was wondering if that amp would push all 3 of em or if he should juss sell it and buy a bigger amp.

he said he can get another p500.2 for cheap. can we wire 3 subs to 2 amps?

Will need a bigger Amp.

ya i figured that. but he said he can get another p500 for really cheap. since each sub has 4 terminals can we run one amp to 2 terminals on one sub and run the other 2 to the middle sub then do the same thing on the other amp so all the terminals are used? basicall run 2 amps to 3 subs...

save a sub (use 2) for when he blows up 1 from not knowing wth he is doing:

we both know how to wire up 2 subs. im juss wondering if we can run 2 amps to 3 subs? no 1 has said yes that will work, or no your an idiot.....

LOL only time people hook their stuff up like you are talking about is for short burps for SPL contests and those amps are not made to for SPL contests. You would chance running into too low of impedance or too high over time to get the power to the subs (lower watts). With the 1 shared sub between both amps you would have to use a DMM to balance the amplifiers gain so the output would be equal. You do not set it right you can damage the "shared" woofer. You alsoneed to know the subwoofers impedances.
