Wiring in series will drop the power going through considerably. Wiring two in series will make those two share half of the power, while the other single ones sees the other half by itself.
More power to the same sub = louder, but more power handling doesn't necessarily
But it usually does.
SLE Bro, like I told you on AIM, 3 crappy subs, or one nice bliotch? One 500w RMS sub will destroy those 3 150 watt ones, no contest. It'll sound better too, and not kill any amps, or soak up all your budget.
EDIT: Read up for more if you don't believe me http://www.jlaudio.com/tutorials/dvc/point.html

It'* unclear to me if 1993 SLE already has the three subs or not. If the are not already purchased, he may want to consider the "one sub solution" as others have suggested. This will certainly simplify wiring and it sounds as if the SVC subs are not high on the recommended equipment list.

with wiring
because a 1ohm load even if the amp is stable isnt a safe load puts alot of wear and tear on the amp thats my opinion

something of that nature would work.........you'd most likely want to run stereo at 2 ohms with those subs.....so with the amp i linked you'd get 400x2 with the typical UNDERRATED rockford watts.
