Default get a monoblock amp....

dual/multi channel amps are just that, they divide their power amoung separate channels. when you bridge those channels to essentially max out the possible power of the amp (which you technically won't) it will result in my higher THD and overall a ****ty signal. THEREFORE, get a monoblock amp because it will have a clean signal, full power and low THD....

btw make sure you know the ohm load of the setup...=)

<center><img src="http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/S-AjGa87YvvYw/reviews/20030722/subwoofer_power.html"></center><p>In most cases, a single channel amp would be the best for you. They can usually take the lower impedance, which you will be sending bause of the 3 subs. A dual/multi channel amp can't operate at the lower impedances.

You can find a full selection of amps by pointing your browser here:<ul><li><a href="http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/ProdGroup.asp?c=3&amp;g=130&amp;s=0&amp;cc=01&amp; avf=N&amp;search=">You can read more on it here:</a></li></ul>
