What to run 3 10's with

I have a custom box I built for my 3 Alpine Type R 10's and am looking at getting amps and whatever else. What should I go with, how many, how should I wire and what about capacitors and batteries?

Thanks

Chris

All your questions can be answered is you do a search and read up.

www.diymobileaudio.com is also a good place to gain knowledge.

Not nearly enough info here. What ohms are the speakers? What is the power rating of each speaker? Are they dual voice coil or single voice coil?

If I say, use a 1000 watt monoblock amp and each speaker is only rated at 200watts, you will burn them up. If I say get a 500watt amp thats only 2 ohm stable and each speaker is rated for 500watts and are running at 4ohms each, you will cut it down to 1 ohm and burn up the amp.

This link along with the one above can help you greatly...
