Sooo, one of them is not like the other? Throw that one out of the picture. Just use the two similar ones. Find a link to your subs and it will be easier for us to help.

i agree....toss out the odd ball, or if you would really want to have 3 12"s then find another audiobahn to match the pair. if your gonna spend the money on 3 anyway, if for no other reason at least go for the looks. but i strongly recommend going with the pair or getting a third sub to match the pair. in the end you'll also agree to

I agree with the others, the oddball third will just muddy up the install. Get the two Audiobahns set up right and you will be good to go. They need a sealed enclosure, but not small...use 3.5 cu ft (net) for the two of them in one enclosure. Wire them- coils: parallel and subs: parallel for a total 2 ohm load. (The specs give them as dual 6 ohm, but they are more closer to dual 8 ohm).

The box you want to use is most likely much too small, so I recommend you have one built to order.

This Hifonics BX-1500D would power them nicely.

Since Audiobahn tends to overrate their watts, you will probably be fine with the Hifonics BX-1000D. If you do get the 1500D just be careful with the gain dial!!
