Ok I have a Jl 1000/1 amp which is good for it as long as the ohm load is 1.5-4 ohms,but I have (3) 4 ohms subs which gives me 1.3ohms or 12ohms.

now with that out the way can't I wire (inside box )serice and the paraell at the amp and get a 1.6ohm load,which is just inside the amps range.Any suggest besides get differnt woofers.

WIre the voice coils of each w3 in series. This will make all of your drivers 8 ohms. Then parallel the 3 woofers to achieve a 2.66 Ohm load on your amp.
