I have 3 aq 3500.1's and 3 fi sp4 18's. If I had 1 amp be the master amp and the other 2 amps be the slave amps, each sub would have it's own amp, will this work? If not, how can I make this work?

. If you use the master and slave switch, do you have to strap them?

What is the best way to gain match properly? I'm assuming that I would have to buy RCA splitters to send signal to all three amps. How do I also narrow down to 1 bass knob?

Cant help with the gain matching but or the bass knob you can use a pac lc1 inline with the rcas and use splitters at the amps

You will need DMM to gain match.

Just Y the rca's to get signal to all three amps.

Set your amps to unclipped (CLEAN) power.

Put you DMM on the first amp and burp it get your voltage from that one.

Do the same for the next two.

Take your lowest voltage and set the other two to that.

This is a very high level how to, but that is the basis of how to gain match multiple amps.

And to answer the bass knob quextion a PAC LC-1 is a cheap solution.
