Ok just my opinion but I would lose the 8ohm sub with that amp its not going to be very effeicant and you will get more power with two subs than u will with three "with that amp" if u were to wire all. Three I would say u would prob have to wire the 8ohm sub in parrell I would really like to know myself if this can be done without two subs receiving more power than the third.just lookin over the specs of ur amp I'm fairly confident in saying that is not the right amp for what ur wanting to do.sorry this is. So long lol

I too am confused by your original post.  If you have 3 woofers, 2 4 ohm and 1 8 ohm, and you have an enclosure with 3 separate chambers, This is the only way to properly connect 3 drivers to that amp and still achieve maximum power from the amp.  Bridge the 8 ohm driver and connect one 4 ohm driver to each channel.  The amp will see a 4 ohm mono load and produce maximum power.  The 8 ohm driver which is a bit less efficient than the 4 ohm will see twice the power as the 4 ohm drivers.  You must have 3 separate chambers for this to work for you.

That is correct.  You must have a 3 chambered enclosure.
