My question is should I get 1 strong 1 channel amp and bridge all 3 subs or get 3 regular 1 channel amps to power them indidvual?

Ill be running either 3 of these if they will clear the stealth box

Just get one strong amp, alot easier on the wiring and space. make sure you get on that matches the load for your speaker power wise.

 

Get one good monoblock amp that will make 1000ishrms @1ohm, 1/0 wiring, and the other stuff you need. Don't skimp on wiring, get quality stuff.

I'd recommend Diamond Audio amps from personal experience (Been working in the industry for 2 1/2 years)

 

^^x2 do your research before you buy stuff because its cheap

 

i looked at a few diamond amps didn't really like them for some reason. i was thinking of 3 10" JL subs with the 1000/1 JL amp.

 

In the past i have had Alpine, MTX and JL Audio amps... I'm a huge fan of JL audio amps after buying them. They are a little bit more money, but the quality is there. I have a 500/1 watt amp from JL and it sounds cleaner and louder than a 750w alpine.

I would also get a powerful mono amp and bridge the 3 subs. Wiring is a huge part though, definatly get good wiring, or your amp wont be at full potential.

As long as you don't end up with a 1ohm final impedance, that would work too. From what I remember the 1000/1 is only 1.3 ohm stable.

would hte JL 500/1 work with 3 10W3V2? i know the 1000/1 will work but wondering if i can save a few hundred by buying the 500/1. i know the W3 is rated at 300rms each so i would need something in the 900rms area but from what i heard the 500/1 is under rated.

 

shoulda bought my arc 1500xxk

Although the 500/1 would drive the 3 subs it is really way under-powered, the 1000/1 would be a better amp,
BTW when you get the subs, get the 10W3v2-D4, [DVC 4 ohm] and wire the VCs in series and the subs in parallel, you will end up with about a 2.5 ohm load. 94
