Find yourself one of the biggest and baddest 2 channel amplifiers that you can and run it in bridged mode. Wire your 3 subs in an all series circuit to 6 ohms. The amp will power all of the subs with ease. A Planet Audio TT2600 or a Rockford Punch P8002 would be a good start. The biggest 2 channel amp with the larger fuse size is your best bet.

Not a great choice. 560w rms x 1 @ 4 ohm mono with 3 subs in series = about 400 rms x1 @ 6 ohms or about 140 watts per speaker. It will work but not get loud and the risk of clipping the amp is great. This is why I suggested the big bad Planet amp or any 2 channel amp with a big fuse size of 80 amps or more. The Rockford amp is rated at 800 w rms x 1 @ 4 ohm mono and is usually underrated as compared to the listed power. Choose the amp with the largest fuse size to fit your budget.

As I am a dealer, I want to abide by the rules of the site, I will offer you advice and recommendations only, sometimes a little more if the circumstances warrant. As you are in the states and I am in the Great White North EH, I can only recommend that you shop around for an amp, the one with the largest fuse in your price range might be the one to buy, if the 501 is all you can afford right now, it can always be used as a great amp to power front speakers down the road. It will not give you all the subs are capbale of but it will not be a waste of money either. If the dealer has a number of 501 amps in stock, they all come with a "birth certificate", choose the one with the biggest power rating.

the website lists at SVC 4ohm or DVC dual 4ohm
