3 subs 2 amps ohm loads

No, wont work, the one sub will always be playing louder or quieter than the other two, it will sound horrible. Just use the two 8 ohm woofers in parallel.2003 Chevy Avalanche,Eclipse CD7000,Morel Elate 5,Adire Extremis,Alpine PDX-4.150, 15" TC-3000, 2 Alpine PDX-1.1000, 470Amp HO Alt.

Your first method had the pair of woofers on the F450 getting 100w each while the single woofer on the F540 was getting 200w. You would have had to set the F540's gain at half of the F450 to match power output. Difficult, but possible to some degree. Now your second idea fixes that problem, but you still have to be careful. You're using two different channels with two different gain adjustments, and one channel is the result of bridging two more channels! It's sketchy at best, but possible I guess. You'll have to be careful to match the gain of both the mono channel and the bridged channel to each other, and it may not sound great, but it can work. Now I have to wonder ... why are you putting three of JL's low-end woofers in a big box instead of one of JL's mid-range woofers in a smaller box? Why not sell everything but the 5ch amp, and buy a 12w3 woofer? It can be powered from the 200w channel just fine. -JustinMalcom: "This is the captain.
