Hello "T", The minimum impedance of the BAMF Series Mono block Amplifier is 1 Ohm. The Gothic GW3-12 Sub-Woofer's voice coils are 2 Ohms each, in which case all four voice coils in "Parallel" will be a 0.5 Ohm load to the amplifier. Which is not stable for the amp. You can wire each Sub-Woofer in "Series" in order to create two 4 Ohm Sub-Woofers, then "Parallel" them to a stable 2 Ohm load to the amplifier, but the BAMF1-3000D will only deliver 1,000 Watts RMS into a 2 Ohm load. Since each Gothic GW3-12 needs 1,200 Watts RMS, with two Sub's in the system you need an amplifier that will deliver 2,400 Watts RMS @ 2 Ohms. In this case, I would recommend going with the BAMF1-8000D that will deliver 2,700 Wats RMS @ 2 Ohms. This will be a surplus of 150 Watts RMS per Sub-Woofer, but its far better to give more power to the Sub-Woofers, than not enough.
