[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 1495375, member: 550915"] In theory, you would be running 1 ohm per channel final load (same as bridged @ 2 ohm). The left and right subs would be getting a paltry 267 watts each and the center would be getting 1067W. Result will be a ton of cancellation and a crappy sound. That is WAY the wrong amp for 3 of those subs. You would probably get better sound from just one sub on that amp than the 3 wired as you propose if you are dead set on that amp. If the amp is not a done deal and you have the subs, find a better amp for the job, preferrably one that can handle a 1 ohm mono load and put out a good amount of power. And IIRC the difference between the 400 and the 400X is a built in crossover not more power. [/QUOTE]
