what do you plan to do to your interior speakers? 3 12's is beyond overkill in the Z....
I just ordered one 6 inch bazooka bass tube to stow away in hatch area in front of you spare.... I couldnt imagine 3 12's lol...

Two is overkill in a car the size of the z. Three may even break the trunk lid but hey whatever you want. These kinds of systems I just shake my head at.

Despite it being overkill, use the link below:
Subwoofer Wiring Diagrams This will help you select the correct configuration for the subs (ie...SVC vs DVC and OHM ratings) in addition to how they should be wired to your amp. Good luck..... PS...... I run two 8's and it hits hard and clean. Just do a single high quality 12 inch sub. Your money would be better spent on a quality HU, amplification, components and processing. JMHO....... Oh..I'd appreciate some rep for the link......

lol 3 12s!!!! You won't even be able to hear the words to a song...just bass. I think you might even be looking at damage to rear hatch. My buddy had 2 12s in his 2004 BMW 3-series, and he has some damage to trunk lol. I can't even imagine 3

Yep I have seen two 12's crack a rear hatch in a SUV from bass.

That gives you all sorts of possiblities then, lots of room with out the spare and foam. i would look at all 3 facing up at the very back of the car, amps further forward, more towards the brace.
However i'll be a sheep too, and say that is a LOT of bass for a Z, i would just do 2! LOL |
