Well. I am totally new to audio things and I recently build a pair of speakers to use as my studio monitors, talking with the friend that helped me to build it him told me that I will need a Tri amped amplifier, but I didn't find any amp searching for this, I have a 10" sub, a 3" mid and a 3" tweeter, they're all 8ohms, so I need a tri-amped amplifier that can power them, do you guys know any thats budget?
A tri-amp amplifier would be 6 identical channels, no different, except for the number of boxes, as 3 x stero amps. 3 stereo amps are more versatile.
What is your budget?

I have finished my ht project with multiamp box. I simply put four 50watts classD amps in the same box. I see no issue putting six in the same box. I recently sold Harman Kardon 5 channel amp (amp not mine). It was extremely simple inside. One massive transformer and 5 amp modules.
Not necassarily.
You can use separate passive crossover on drivers, just tri-amp it.
But i assume you are right, it will require active crossover. Btw, i recently built cheap ebay kit, and i am quite pleased with the sound.

The amp modules should match the speakers sensitivity, say a really low noise amp 15w for tweeter, 30w for mid, 100w for woofer, just an example

Which inherits the worse points of both kinds of crossover, complexity and non-linearity - however it is a good option for PA as there is redundancy and its easy to reconfigure if an amp fails. You can size the bass/subbass amp larger if there's an active-crossover though.
Hey guys, sorry, my question is whered I can find a tri amp? a amp with 6 channels? I couldnt find it anywhere
True.
I often do bi-amping, split at ~150 Hz, where i leave the bookshelf crossover in place. I got three biamped systems now, all using big classAB amps for woofers, and modest classA amp for rest. The top part is modular and has its own crossover. Gives me plenty of flexibily.

That's not that much for six amplifiers (three stereo). Getting something cheap and terrible would be horrible idea, since you mention studio monitors. The purpose of studio monitor is highest clarity and lowest distortion possible, to allow accurate mixing.
Well, this is diy site, so get busy building. (I am not too optimistic, because even proper transformer to power 6 amplifiers can cost your budget)

A tri-amp is just 6 channels.
6 x monoBloks
3 x stereo amps.
2 x 3 channels per amp (such as this with 3 channels 9B3 Modular Multi-channel Amplifier – Bryston) or this XPA-3 Gen3 3 Channel Audiophile Home Theater Power Amplifier – Emotiva Audio Corporation
Most must-channel amps are aimed at Home Theatre so 5 is often the max, 7 channels will be rarer (just don’t use a channel). Like this BasX A-700 Seven Channel Power Amplifier – Emotiva Audio Corporation or this XPA-7 Gen3 7-channel Power Amplifier – Emotiva Audio Corporation
(Emotiv also has a 9 and an 11 channel amp)
Here is one that can be configured with from 2 to 7 amps: Build Your Own (Custom Configuration) Audiophile Power Amplifier – Emotiva Audio Corporation
This one has 8: https://emotiva.com/collections/amps/products/a-800
Personally i would go with one of the 1st 2 options.

You will have a really hard time, but 6 x cheap Class D (more for the need of a much smaller power supply than anything else), and you will have to diy it (asembled boards and canned switching supply can be assembled into a chassis).
I have done 2 off 4 x 100w into 4Ω Class D, one for less than a $100, and one $200, but i had chassis i could repurpose that cost next to nothing and someone donated a PS for the 1st, the 2nd i had to pay for more parts. I would not use these amps for anything but bass thou.

Awn, so my best choice is wait to get more money? aw, at this way im going to spend more than I would buying studio monitors
