Default Sub Setup Question

I have 500wx2 channel amp. And three 12in 12ohm subs. What is the best way to run these. Should I just run them in series? If so, what would that make the ohm load of the sub be?

series would give you 36 ohms, little on the high side.

try them parallel, 3 ohms.

Is the amp bridgeable? If it is I would wire the subs in parallel which would be a final load of 4 ohms at the amplifier.
