Hi Guys

i'm a total noob to this and have a query regarding an install of 3 subs into my 1969 VW Beetle

so the hardware that hi have is

a Rockford Fosgate P6001, link below for illustration
https://www.crutchfield.com/S-VRCgnsUcqKL/p_575P6001/Rockford-Fosgate-Punch-P6001.html

the amp has a power output of
300 x 1 at 4ohm
600 x 1 at 2ohm

the problem

i have 3 Subs that i would like to use , the Rockford Fosgate Punch HE 10 RFP4410
200 Watts at 4ohm per sub
https://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_933_Rockford-Fosgate-HE-RFP4410-10-Punch-HE.html

this causing a slight issue, i've been told that i can wire up in the following manner
Option 1
Series 2 Subs taking the ohmage to 8ohms, and then parallel to the remainder 1 sub bringing the load down to 2.6 OHM, however, i hear that there are current issues and other bits that come with this

Option 2
Parallel all the subs down to 1,34 Ohms and hope for the best

Option 3
Run 2 Subs at 2 Ohms , and keep a spare 10" sub, though i really don't want to use this option


any thoughts and input would be great, i'm actually hoping someone has done an amp dyno on the above mentioned amp, and makes mention it does 1ohm safely (problem solved )

thanks guys

If you're set on 3 subs, my advice is to find an amp that's meant to run at 1 ohm. Otherwise just run 2.
