There are a couple of us here that offer boxes. 3 12s can be a bit tricky because it's a very tight squeeze to get one in the center because of the hatch motor and the shape of the hump.

As for the amp, that totally depends on your needs, your budget, and the type of subs you've got.

3 12's will be very tight and the box will be undersized,

2 12's is about the most you'd be able to fit and have proper box sizing

spend the money on 1 good sub or go for 2 JL 12W0's
they are cheap and they are a tried and tested sub

I think everybody and their has had those subs and you won't find 1 person thats not happy with them

I've personally moved on to the higher end stuff for my camaro but I still run 2 12" WO's in my Jimmy and the bass is insane

Well, he wants to spend 150 at most, and he can get 3 12's for obviously that or under.. That works out to... Dang.. I spent more on wiring... That should give you an idea.. I didn't know they MADE a 12 inch, 50 dollar sub, or that walmart sold subs...

That stuff is garbage. I suggest the same as what these guys have already said. Put your money into less stuff of better quality. 3 junk subs won't sound good, and still won't get all that loud unless you're pushing them with a good amp. Stick with 1 $150 sub and not 3 $50 subs. You'll have much better sound quality, your output should be just as loud, and you'll have more installation flexibility.
