I'm using 2 PDX M-12 amps. 1 amp runs 2 subs other amp runs a single. The 2 subs running of 1 amp only have 1 wire jumping from side to side. They were that way when I paid to have my first box built since ive made bigger sub box and I have hooked the single sub up the same as the other 2 are with one wire good ?? Bad?? Come on guys ?? A little help here ??? I know ? I asked is stupid to most but I got other skills

So you saying get a third amp and run them as if they were single ?? Basically they are beings there in separate chambers correct except 2 are running of 1 amp

Two subs one amp.
Then one sub one amp.
The picture will show you in detail the two ways you can wire the subs together and at what Ohm it will present the amp.
With two dual 4 Ohm subs you will either show the amp 1 Ohm or 4 Ohm. With the single sub it will be 2 Ohm or 8 Ohm.
The single sub will need to be in its own separate box.

Ok so I'm gonna wire the 2 subs at 4 ohm. Now I custom built 1 sub box with 3 separate chambers. Separate so it's like having 3 singles all in a row sitting next to each other but they are inone you follow. The two chambers were built at 1.25 cu ft I made the 3 chamber 1.38 cu ft air space I will wire it 2 ohm. It should rock

Don't get me wrong ideally I would have 4 subs all day versus 3 but no room I'm squeezing the 3 into 2011 mega cab with 6 - 6.5 components and 6- 6x9s all run of PDX amps
Just finished up pods in dash last night for 6.5s. Wrapping dash today in brown bomber jacket type leather
