The Kicker KX800.2 - four ohm minimum running mono

You pry could mix parallel and series wiring to achieve a minimum 4 ohm.

I can't think right now, so more help from me at this point.

are you sure it's not a 800.4 instead of a 800.2?...anyway, check the diagram below...that presents a 2.67 ohm load to your amp...as posted, the KX800.2 is only stable to 4 ohms mono...so that kinda sucks for you...you could just run 2 of them, as in the second diagram, and sell your 3rd sub for a few extra bucks...or just get a new amp...anyway, good luck!

I'd sell all three woofers and buy an L7.
Drive your 800.2 mono @ 4 into a 4ohm L7 looking for around 750watts . . . mmmmmmn

...or you could do that...i have a pair of S12L7s pushed by a Kicker KX1200.1 that's putting out 1410 watts at 1 ohm...

The closest I can calculate is a 4.33 ohm load, but one sub would be wired weird, so I am unsure if one voice coil will get different wattage than the other.

i wouldn't chance it, bro...right now you can get a KX1200.1 from sounddomain.com for a little over $400...or check out the Hifonics Brutus BX1000D or BX1500D...all Hifonics' amps are stable to 1 ohm, and they put out awesome Class D power at a great price...good luck!
