Default Ohm's wiring question

Currently i'm running 2 Alpine type R 12" dvc 2 ohms each coil and this thing hits hard with the JBL1200.1 amp. i'm planning to add another 12"dvc 2 ohms.

is it possible to wire 3 Alpine Type R 12" dvc 2 ohms each coil down to 2 ohms?? also would i have enough power out of the 1200.1 amp to push 3 of these subs. this amp is really really strong. would 400 watts for each sub be enough power to really push these subs?

i think the 2 main options of wiring three 2ohm dvc subs are 1/3 ohm and 1 1/3 ohms.
i think there are more options, but a 2 ohm load is not possible

but then again, im no expert on this..
i get confused with the math on multiple dvc subs myself
i can only figure out svcs

anyways, heres the math of it using two 4 ohm speakers for an example;
in series, add up the impedance by simple addition, for instance,
4 ohms + 4 ohms = 8 ohms
in parralel, add up the imp. by taking the inverse of the sum of the inverses, for instance,
(1/4 + 1/4)^ -1 = 2 ohms

with a 4 ohm dvc, 1 sub will have 2 4 ohm resistors, so possible wiring of that single sub will be 2 or 8 ohms

you can try to play with the math to figure out a final load from the wiring of the 1-3 subs you have
