Wow you got me. Id have to draw out a diagram or something. Thats a toughy. If it is gonna be that much of a problem to put in a third sub, I would just stick with the two. Just my opinion.

Ouch, thinking that hard will make my head hurt. Get a third sub to match the other two. JLaudio.com has a bunch of diagrams that may help you out.

my problem w/the 2 8ohm sub's is when first got them my alpine deck went out so i just went to wall mart and just got a cheap deck untill i have the one i have now. and they slammed hard as hell then they just started sounding like my gain on the amp was half way down but it was all the way up and i've even put a cross over on them and they still dont hit as hard so my friend gave me his 12 he just had put up, so i dont know if the amp is going bad or if somthing is wrong w/the speakers,but if somthing was wrong w/the speakers they would have allready blown wouldnt they.??

Damn your not happy with two? I used to have them before someone borrowed them along with half my ignition a while back.

I thought the pair was good and i actually like them better over my Infinity Perfects although i havnt adjusted the amps at all since its in a custom rack which makes it a pain to adjust things.
