OK I will give you a list of my components and then my major question and any input you might have

Head Unit--Kenwood KDC-MP7028

EQ- Eclipse 1/2 Din 10v preout

Signal Processor-Audio Control Epicenter

Sub Amp(s)--MTX Thunder 250D Mono Block  x3

High Amp(s)--MTX Thunder 302

Stiffening Cap--20 Volt 24 volt surge Digital 3 farad

Sub(s)--Kicker CVR12 DVC 4 ohm x2

now here is the question.  I want to run all three sub amps to the two subs.  I need to know how to wire them in series, parallel, or a combo to achieve close to 2 ohms per amp.  Any help would be appreciated.

I believe MTX does have some amps that are strappable- check your manuals to be sure.  They will tell you what wiring configurations to use without any unnecessary (dangerous) guesswork.

Can't do it.  You're trying to use gear that is mismatched to the task.  Suggest you sell the 250D's and buy one new mono amp.  Look for one that is capable of running a 1 ohm load at about 1000 watts.  That will be easier than trying to find one that outputs the target 800 watts at 1 ohm....but you'll have to be especially careful in the setup that you don't overpower the subs.  The option is to buy a two channel amp and bridge a total 4 ohm load onto it.  This would be the more expensive approach, most likely, and there again you're looking for 800 watts.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
