Are the coils dual 4ohm or dual 2ohm?

Then you are looking for 3K into 1ohm, wire the coils in parallel.

Most of the AP 3K's don't like 1ohm.

Two dual 2 ohm subwoofers wired in parallel would make .5 ohm.

OP, so you need to wire the subwoofers to 2 ohms by wiring the Voice coils in series, and the subs wired in parallel
