I have a task for someone. Here is the deal. I have 3 massive TW 10" sub-woofers 500rms 1000 max 2 and 4 ohm stable. I have 3 massive TW 12" sub-woofers 500rms 1000 max 2 and 4 ohm stable. I have a 1700w 2 channel kenwood KAC-9102D 2ohm stable. I have a 2400w MD 2629M 2 channel 1 ohm stable. I am looking for a way to push as much power as I can out of the subs and the amps without trashing anything. Now I am kinda dumb when it comes to directions like this. If you could please step by step what to do it would help me out alot. P.S. who ever helps me out with this I will put any name you want inside the car as a logo for anyone that wants to help.
P.S. all the subwoofers are all DVC soory to not add this before.
your subs can only either be 2ohm voice coils or 4 ohm. it cant be bothe.
Pick one set of subs and amps or the other. Don't mix and match subs and amps.

if they are DVC they either have 2-2ohm or 2-4ohm voice coils, which makes a huge difference in how you wire them.And "stable " does not apply to speakers, only amps, which is another thing you need to find out. When you say 1 or 2 ohm stable, you need to know if that is in stereo or bridged. Most amps claim Xohm stable, but are only that stable in 2 ch mode.....which is impossible for you to use with 3 subs.
most likely they will be 4ohm coils and you want to run the coils on the speakers in series to get (3) 8 ohm speakers. Then wire those three speakers in parallel to get a 2.67ohm load TOTAL, which should be OK for the amp to run mono.
the whole problem with a 3 speaker setup is the load. The whole 3 speaker setup came from JL because they made(not sure if they still make them) 6ohm speakers, which gives you an even 2ohm load when ran in parallel.
find out the specifics and come back.
