Default Wiring up 3 - 4 ohm svc subs.

Ok, my amp is:

400 watts x 2 at 2 ohms,
200 watts x2 at 4 ohms,
800 watts x1 at 4 ohms.

and i have 3 - 4 ohm subs. 250 rms.

Can i wire each chanel differently?

1 chanel wired to one sub at 200 watts @ 4 ohms,
1 chanel wired to two subs at 400 watts @ 2 ohms (2 in parallel)

You can, but it will sound like crap, you have the wrong amp for the subs, [or the wrong subs for the amp] find a mono block sub amp that is at least 1x800W RMS into 1 ohm, is 1 ohm stable, wire the subs in parallel for a 1.333 ohm final load. 94
