which sub/amp setup?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

which do you think would be best? They will all cost pretty much the same price +/- $15
I am looking more for SPL than SQL. im thinkin #3 would give me pretty decent SPL and SQL, but am not sure about cancelation and what not.

1. 2) 10" subs running at 1000W RMS @ 1ohm

2. 3) 10" subs running at 1000W RMS @ 2ohm

3. 2) 10" subs and one 15" sub running at 1000W RMS @ 2ohm


now heres the storie. I have 2 of the 10" subs already. I can either buy a 1000W RMS @ 1ohm amp and just run the two 10's. Or for the same price i can buy a 1000W RMS @ 2ohm amp and either another 10" or a 15" sub. I know 10"s can hit pretty well and get the higher notes much better whereas 15"s hit the low notes like no ones business but cant really get the highs all that well.

how are you going to wire the subs? in series or parallel?

to keep your system simple enough you should go with your first combination of 2 dvc 4ohm subs wired in parallel to the 1ohm class d amp. that will be your best option. plus off the top of my head i dont think you can wire 3 dvc 4ohm subs into a 2ohm load. your best sound quality should come from option 1.
