you NEVER want to mix subs, always stay w/ the same one either 2 L5's or 2 L7's

two different subs playing the same signal, think about it. When two subs play the same signal in the exact same manner (same sub, same signal, same amp, same settings) you will creative a a stronger output wave (an additive sound, it builds on top of each other). When you have 2 diffent subs playing the same signal, you get 2 different waves created (different coils, different excursion, different sound characteristics) resulting in possible cancelling instead of addition.

umm, I'm still not entirely sure why people say its a bad thing...
I'm sure it could work quite well, if done properly...

I'm sure it could be done properly, but it would probably take an electrical engineer to figure out how to do it... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

It's bad because you have two DIFFERENT drivers with DIFFERENT parameters (on top of inherent manufacturing differences) operating in two DIFFERENT boxes.

Get my point?
