All of the above is a bad idea...why not sell all of that and purchase a good starter setup

Well i do plan on getting an all rockford fosgate system in the future but until then this is what i got to work with so running 2 subs at 2 ohms an 1 sub at 4 ohms is not a good idea? How come?

Just not a good idea in general..for so many reasons ...dont want to mix subs or ohm loads pick a set and run it ..and theres alot better stuff than rockford these days browse thru here and get a idea

how is it wired up atm, why not sell the 4 ohm woofer and ask some1 to build you a box for your 2x 2ohm subs (if they are the same sub)

All 3 subs are the same 12" 4 ohm svc i have 2 running at 2 ohms is there a way to run 1 at 2 ohms?

Or can i run all 3 at 2 ohms?

wire 3x 4ohm subs in parallel to to achive a 1.34 ohm load.... do this and get yourself an amp that can run stable at 1 ohm

what amp?

if you wire them in series, you'll get a 12 ohm load

its a cheap boss nxd4500 says its 1 ohm stable on it but its BS cuz i parallel wired all 3 subs an didnt hit as hard as the 2 at 2 ohms think ill do that find a good 1 ohm stable amp
