the black cone with yellow stitching comps will be just fine on that amp. They are only 150w rms if i remember right. Just remember, with 3 it is going to be a wierd ohm load at the amp so it will not do the same power as it is rated for at 4 and 2 ohm.

if you run it at 2 ohm perfect, KX12001 is too much for three Comps.

He could run 2 ohm if they are single 4 ohm subs. That would give him 1.34 ohms which would be closer to 2 ohms after rise.
