My girlfriend has 3 JL Audio 10W0s that handle 125 watts rms and i was wondering how to wire them. I know a pretty good bit about car audio but when it comes to wiring multiple subs and the ohms and stuff i just get confused. So anyway what would be the best way to wire them and what amp would u suggest for them.

Assuming the subs have 4 ohm VC's, I would say wire them in parallel and throw them on a 300-400w amp. That would give each sub around 125w, depending on the amp.

well trust me on this one k, i just had 3 10" w0's in my car for about 4 months. thye can't handle alot of power, so you aren't going to need a HUGE amp, but still fairly powerful.. i had an amp that put out 380 x 1 max @ 4 ohms, it coudnt handle a 2 ohm load do i had to wire them series.. i think 3 4ohms parallel is going to give you like 1.3 ohm load or somehting close to that, so i figure if you get a decent amp, around the 500 watt range, run them series, or a decent amp around 250 watt range that can handle a 1 ohm load, 500 or 250 max of course, good luck

4ohm load...wired in series. Isn't that = 12 ohms??? now what amp handles that?

4ohm load wires in parallel = 4/3 ohm which = 1.3ohm I think would better wiring dont you think?

example above is single voice cone sub (SVC)

hey i'm just sayin some amps can't handle the 1.3 ohm load and it sometimes might just be cheaper to run more power at 12 ohms,

I forgot to mention in my first post that the amp has to be one ohm stable to handle the 1.3 ohm load. One ohm stable amps are pretty common and I think a lower power one ohm amp would be cheaper than a higher power 4 ohm amp.
