my question is i can get another 12 of the same kind for fairly cheap i am new to car audio and with tht being a 2 channel amp i was wondering the proper way to add the third speaker to the other 2 and all of them get the same power

depending on coil configuration, but you run the amp bridged instead

coil configuration?

and by bridged u mean all 3 ground in one chan and all 3 power in the other?

yeah, but it will probably over load the amp.

your subs are single voice coil 4 ohm subs (coil configuration stated above) when bridged your amp is only stable at 4 ohms.

as seen in this diagram you can only get 1.34 ohms (your amp cant handle) or 12 ohms ( your amp will put out so little power itd be pointless)

either consider an amp that is stable at 1 ohm, buy different subs, or scrap the idea of adding a third sub.

hope that helped.
