It depends on the subs, how many watts your amp is, how many ohms you're running and how u wire them.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

you can go from .5 ohms all the way up to 24 ohms just depends on setup as previously stated.

Well I could explain but just easier to go to http://www.rockfordfosgate.com and look at the wiring wizard should show how to wire three subs into diffrent ohm pick one and wire away.

alright well i took your advise and got'em wired up and it said that it would be a 1.36 ohm load!?! what the hell does that mean? what would best describe this load with my amp 1ohm mono 1ohm stereo 2ohm mono 2 ohm stereo? which one? help!!

Well you amp should have a little switch that will turn it to stereo mode and mono mode switch it to mono and bridge your amp this is creating pretty much a 1ohm mono load on your amp and will get the most power out of it this way be sure to keep the gains down though.

ok the 1.36 ohm load is the resestence that your amp will see....since your amp is stable down to 1 ohm you shouldnt have any problem.....just doe as jlman said....set your amp to mono bridged and bridge your amp as your directions w/ your amp state....and go from there....and i wouldnt turn the gains up very much either as jlman stated....good luck....let us know how it turns out......
