I need to know how to or just a diagram of how i can hook up 3 solar baric L5 12s 2 Ohm on a ZR 1000.

If I would hook it up in series it would drop it to a 1.3 Ohm. I need something with a 2 ohm or larger.

Actually, if you hook them up in PARALLEL, you'll get an overall impedance of 1.33 ohms.  I'm assuming two voice coils per sub, 2-ohms per voice coil.  Your best bet will be to parallel-wire each sub's voice coil to make each speaker a 1-ohm load, and then series-wire the three subs together for an overall impedance of 3 ohms.  You won't be getting max power out of your amp, but it's the best you can do with those speakers.  Figure you'll get about 750 Watts out of it into a 3-ohm mono load.
