i have 3 Kicker 10C124 12" 500W 4-Ohm COMP subs. i have a kicker ZX 350.4 amp and a JL AUDIO e4300 amp. Which amp would be best to run these subs. Also how would you wire them to the amp. (parallel or series, bridged or not bridged, each sub individually wired to its own channel). Kinda new and want the best sound with what im working with. Thanks your advice will be much appreciated.

Those are both 4-channel amps. Neither is a good choice for subwoofers. And with 3 x 4-ohm subs, your options are limited. You will need a mono subwoofer amp capable of a 1-ohm load, or drop it to two of those subs and get an amp capable of a 2-ohm load. If you MUST use all three subs and you MUST use one of those amps, connect each sub to its own channel and send the same input to all three channels. Leave the fourth channel empty.
