You dont really want to be running 12"s and a 15" If you want more bass, just add another 12", same brand and model. If they are single voice coils, 3 4ohms will end up being a 1 1/3 ohm parallel impedance. Unless you want to spend alot of money on a nice amp that will run a bridged load, i'd just stick with 2 subs.
