Shawn, that'll depend on your sub's VC and ohms. JL amp is 2 to 1ohms stable. Make sure you do not go lower than their minimum ohm requirements.

well u should kinda find out.. u want the voice coilconfigs to be the same either voice coil config x 3 subs will fit within the jl amps ohm range which is 1.5 to 4 ohms accually
3 dvc 2 ohm subs can yield a 3 ohm load on the amp
3 dvc 4 ohm subs can yield a 2 .67 ohm load on the amp
so the main thing is amp strong enough for those
the subs rms rating is 500 watts so that amp would be perfect for 2 i wouldnt bother adding a third
