...and how much SQ are you willing to sacrifice. I mean loading one amp with three subs will be driving the amp at very low impedances which increases the THD.
Expect more than $800 with all of the extra accessories you'll need.

Why three? You can probably get equal to or better than with 1 or 2 higher wattage subwoofers and amp. People get all of those subs because the subs by them self don't push as hard, so u need more for a louder sound. Why kickers subs. They are way better quality subs that cost half the price. Try Phoenix Gold, MA audio, memphis, Higher end JL's, MTX.

This clearly must be for a contest, because more than 600 watts in a car doesn't sound like music anymore. So, if 3000 rms watts doesn't satisfy you anymore, would you be open to the idea that you're losing your hearing. It is important to not what the total impedance is with these 3 speakers, since you do not want that to be lower than the amp's stability. If you haven't upgraded your power supply the power to feed the hungry amp- it takes 3000 watts or more in to get 3000 watts out, that would be a more important thing to take care of, than matching labels. The BAMF amp is 5500 watts max and above the 3000 rms it is rated at, the rest is heat and distortion. Let's calculate the speaker total impedance you're working with; If they're 4 ohm single voice coil speakers all in series, you've got 12 ohms total. No harm in that. If they are all parallel the impedance total is 1.3 ohms. If your amp is 1 ohm stable, that's fine. If these are the double voice coil speakers, there are a variety of circuits that can be utilized connecting them up- series, parallel, or a combination of series and parallel. Impedance total for series is a straight forward sum of all the voice coils. For parallel, to take the inverse of the sum of the inverse of the voice coils and you can do the math. Also, in series, all the speakers get a share of the power. I think what you have is probably sufficient for any entertainment, short of the Superdome.

well my husband bought 4 kicker s12l5s two amps and some little speakers (cant remember what they are called) and wiring and it was like $4000 WITH a military discount. he put it all in him self. Oh and he also got the speakers for the doors.

price depends on store, if new or used, power level, in a box or not, amp per sub, 1 main amp to run all 3, install needed, fuses needed, wires needed?
Figure easy $1000+
