i was wondering if its possible to wire 3 12's up to 1 2ch amp? if it is can you explain how...thank you

 

it all depends on the amp and also the subs.. what kind of subs were you gonna get and what amp??

 

I think it is possible, it all depends if your amp can handle the ohm load that the speakers will give. If you buy 3 speakers with 4ohms each, and wire them to be 1 channel, the load will be 4/3 = 1.33333. It your amp can take 1 ohm, then you should be fine. If not, buy 8 ohm speakers to make it 8/3 = 2.666666.

the lower the ohm, the higher the load. Better quality amps can take higher loads.

 

depending on the final load you want you could always go with:

2x8ohm in parallel, in parallel with a 4ohm = 2ohm load
2x4ohm in series, in parallel with an 8ohm = 4ohm load
2x4ohm in series, in parallel with a 4ohm = 2.666ohm load

it all depends what you want and what you have already

 

my boy used to have a 3 jl w6 12'' subs in his sebrig and he had a rockford fostgate amp and those subs hit hard as hell.. i forget how he had to wire it, but jl and older rockford amps kick ***..

 

The best advice given....3 dual 4 ohm subs wired in series( 8 ohms) or 3 8 ohm subs either wired in parallel...equals 2.66 ( 3 ohms)...a warmm but happy 2 channel amp...if its of decent quality.

have fun
