If you wire them in parallel (like the formula you gave) then you would end up with a 1.33ohm mono load, and if you were to run them in series you would have a 12ohm mono load. Do you already have the subs? What amp are you going to run them to? If you don't have the subs yet and you want to run 3 then I would suggest getting them in 8ohm rather than 4. You can wire 3 8ohm subs to most good amps and not have to worry too much about the amp overheating and shutting down.
