2x 10'' and 1x 12'', not a good idea?

[QUOTE="basic_dzignz, post: 4252102, member: 588690"] subs that are unmatched in size CAN sound REALY good under 1 condition. U must have an external filter to sort the very lowest notes to the biggest sub(s) and the other sub notes to the smaller subs. this can potentally be a great set-up. I have done the same several years ago for a freind with 2 RF 10's & 2 RF12's in an S-10.
