How would you go about wiring 2 single 3 ohm subs and what ohm load would you have?

Single big man.

Lowest impedance is 1.5 ohms.

what kinda power would i see outta my nine.1 at 1.5 ohms at 13.9 volts? ED techs claim i woulda seen 1200 rms at 1.34 ohms at 13.9 volts, sooo like 1100? is 600 watts too little for a 12w7?

and what would be louder? 2 sealed 12w7s on 550 watts a piece or a 1 13w7 ported on 1000 rms?

Straight from JL Audio's website:
2 SVC drivers with Voice Coils in Parallel
This is pretty simple, too. Wire both woofer (+) to the amplifier's (+) and do the same with the (-) connections.
2 Ohm Subwoofer: 1 Ohm
3 Ohm Subwoofer: 1.5 Ohms
4 Ohm Subwoofers: 2 Ohms
8 Ohm Subwoofers: 4 Ohms
12 Ohm Subwoofers: 6 Ohms

To answer your last question, I couldn't tell you. I haven't ever played with W7s.

Maybe I'm missing what your asking but two 3 ohm Single Voice Coil subs wire to a 1.5 ohm load just like two 4 ohm Single Voice Coil subs wire to 2 ohms.
