You won't blow the back hatch off, but I have two SVC Pioneer Premiers (last years model) and I love them. 3 will be a tight fit in the back, but if you want to go for it, do it.
What type of amps do you plan on using to power them?

Yes, but 1x3 is 3 cubic feet of space... which is a fair ammount, didn't say it couldn't be done, just said it was a tight fit.
How do you plan on wiring them at what ohms?

if you wanted to buy a box like i bought for $150, you could put 4 12's back there instead of 3. i have 2 15's in mine though.

Hey, someone else on here has the old Premiers!! I have one of them running off channels 5/6 on my Aura amp. Awesome SQ for what I got it for, and nice output from only ~200 watts due to it's efficiency. Quite a step up from their old diamondplate jobs.

Back to the question, why do you want 3 subs? Even numbers are alot easier to wire. I've never heard those subs, so I cant say anything about them, besides they look pretty cool. Looks mean nothing though...look at stuff like JL. My guess is that they're probably decent, good for the dollar subs, nothing too spectacular though. I suggestions are this, and you may not like them: a Profile amp isn't going to be worth getting 3 subs for, due to the work involved, etc. I would suggest get 2 12's (easier box and wiring), and take the extra money and get a better amp. You'd probably even get more output from 2 subs on a decent amp then 3 on a Profile amp. Plus it would be easier to install. 2 12's with a nice amp will deliver plenty of bass for most people.

Oh and if you're worried about taking up the space where your t-tops are, unless you're going to be building undersize boxes for your subs, you can pretty much forget about 3 12's.

would there be a noticable difference in amount of bass, also what amp would u recammend, those subs are for small boxes, only require 1cu f each, normal 12" subs need about 1.5cu ft right? but back to the subs, what would you guys recammend for those subs (3 of them) and what would u recammend for 2 of them?

id use a nice Kicker amp. Or maybe even Memphis or SoundStream?

depends on how much $$ you can save by ditching one of the three 12"s. Mow a couple lawns and in a few weeks you'd have enough money for something that will last you your life.
