Hi, I have 3 MTX 7000 12 ohm SVC subwoofers. Was wondering what amp will have the most power to push 3 of these below?

I have a USA-2000

Power Per Channel:

4 Ohms: 250 Watts

2 Ohms 500 Watts

1 Ohms 1000 Watts

Bridged Mode:

4 Ohms: 1000W

2 Ohms: 2000W

OR my other amp.

JBL BP1200.1 (Mono amp)

4 Ohms: 600W

2 Ohms: 1200W

Is the "USA-2000" made by US Amps?

If so, that's what I would use. Wire the subs all in parallel and wire them to the bridged output terminals on the amp.

It is.

I assume it will put more watts out then my JBL on a 4 ohm load?

Thanks,

You provided us the specs...:

3 woofers @ 12-ohms, parallel = 4ohm load total.

JBL - 600W @ 4 ohms. Mono amp. No bridging.

USA - 1000W @ 4 ohms bridged mono.

It was suggested you bridge the amp. I'll let you figure it out from here.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
