Wiring up 3 w6's (D6's)

[boomzabit 10+ year member]

Alright so i found a deal on some 12'' w6's which are dual 6 ohm.. If i wire them in parallel ill get 1 ohm whic is what i want.. However how many different wires will be going into the postive and negative terminal on my amp? Im assuming 3 into the positive and 3 into the negative?

BTW I havent bought an amp for these yet.. but it will be 1 ohm stable.

That depends completely on how you choose to wire it.

Yep ^^^^ and what sort of budget are you on for an amp?

You can run one wire from the amps pos and one from the amps neg and split it off to the three subs if you want.

I just picked up a kx 1200.1, the only think i dont like is the fact that this amp only has 1 set of + - outputs..

Im trying to figure out what way would be best to wire 3 of these? Could i wire them all and have that all go to one terminal?

Yup. Different ways of wiring them together, but one output from the amp, and then split it up. You could run all +'s to a stud on the box and all -'s to another stud on the box. You could run the + and - to the first sub, and jumper to the second, and then jumper to the third, so that each connection has two wires except the last one, etc. MANY ways to skin this cat.
