You need to know this before buying an amp . You must know what Ohm load you want your amp to see , and if said amp can handle that load .

Take the sub out and take a DMM or ohmmeter to the terminals. OR you can find me the model numbers of the current subs and Ill be able to tell from that.

You will need a Mono amp that is 1 Ohm stable . You will wire the coils in Series and then Parallel wire all 3 subs . Your amp will see a 1.34 Ohm load . Will look like this .
