what's a good way to wire my subs to my amp?
I have 1 boss amp 1200 watts and 3 audio bahns pushing about 400 watts each?

I had the same setup not too long ago. Those audiobahns are a nuisance. The wire leads kept burning off, and I had to repeatedly solder them back together. Well, anyways the best configuration for you with dual 4 ohm voice coils is.....
Wire both voice coils on all 3 in parallel. Then wire the subwoofers together in series. This will yield you with a 2.6 ohm load. Your only 2 choices are that or wiring everything in parallel, but that would give you a .66 ohm load. I don't think any amp exists that can handle that kinda load.
For more information, you can consult www.jlaudio.com , and click on tutorials, and how to wire your subs. good information.

Actually do exactly the opposite what Azn said. 
If you wire them all in parallel you'll have (3) 2 ohm loads and when you wire in series you'll get a 6 ohm load.
What you need to do is wire all the subs in series first so you get (3) 8 ohm loads then wire them in parallel to get a 2.66 ohm load.
Just hope the boss amp is stable to that ohm rating. If its truely a monoblock amp then the word "bridged" should not be on the spec sheet.

FYI: MMATS has 2 class D amps that can handle 0.50 ohms. One at 1500 watts and the other at 2000 watts.Originally posted by Aznnp77

Link to the amps.
orions old hcca amps were .25 ohm stable stereo
what about wiring 2 audiobahns? i'm not too knowledgable about all the wiring business... but i plan on getting 2 audiobahn aw1206's and a power acoustik amp, then build a ported box to audiobahns specifications... how does that sound and wat ohm load would i have to run at? any other amp/sub setups that would be louder for around 500?
