#4 i just want to get as much as possible out of this set up and i dont want to blow anything up SO PLEASE HELP I WOULD BE VERRY THANKFULL
If you parralled 3 woofers together that would give you 1.33 ohms. 1.33 + 1.33 in series would give you 2.66 ohms. All of them in parrallel would be .67 ohms. Just to be safe I would go with the 2.66 ohms. By the way, what kind of amp and speakers?

If you wire it at .67 ohms then you would get alot more out of the amp, with the risk of damage to the amp. But from what I've heard the JL amps can handle it with out a problem. If you go this route then you will need to wire the speakers in parrallel. To do this wire all of the - speaker terminals to the - on the amp and all of the + speaker terminals to the + on the amp.
To get the safer 2.66 ohms then you would use parrallel\series wiring. To do this wire 3 of the speakers in parrallel. Tie 3 speaker + and - together. Do the same with the other 3 speakers. That is the parrallel part. Now for the series part. This will give you 2 + and 2 -. Connect the + from one speaker set to the - of the other speaker set. Now all you have left is one + and one -. These will go to the amp.
I would ask some of these guys in here about that amp and see how well it will handle .67 ohms. You will get much more power out of it at .67 ohms. I don't think that it will be a problem. Hope this helps.
