How many amps are being used? What amps are being used? There is a few variations you could end up with. But it all depends on the subs and amp(s). Do you have any more info at all?

you either running 6 or 3 amps depending on the wattage and i can tell you which amps i would pick for the 3 amplifiers i would either run parallel or series-parallel no series here i just would not. in series parallel i would only run 1/2 power to the subs two of them to get full out put from subs. this or get three one ohm stable amps which i know a couple cheap ones this and you could wire two in parallel and use 3 amps depending on wattage for those in parallel

get dual 4 ohm coils. wire each sub in series for six 8 ohm subs. parallel all of them for a 1.33 ohm mono load.

realize that whatever power the amp puts out a 1 ohm will be divided evenly to each sub.

so a 2000W amp would give 333W to each.

but like i was thinking it hard to find a 700rms sub divided by 2 to equal 350 each coil two coils in series does not equal full load

that would be 333W to each sub, or 150W to each coil. not much power for sure.

if it's a two channel amp he can split it up so 3 are on each channel for 2.66 ohm stereo.
