You usually don't want to mix different subs and especially if running them off the same amp. 3 of those subs don't match up well with that amp...if you connect 3 W6s, their coils should be in series and the subs themselves wired in parallel to each other to achieve a 2.667ohm load. You'll need about 1200W rms for all 3 and that orion will give you less than 1000W into 2.667ohms.

^^^ Yeah what he said. Never mix different subs together.
