3 different subs....Different impedences?

[Mynameismcgyver 10+ year member]

I have these questions.

-1 I have a box with 2 Rockford P1's hooked up @ 4 ohm. I have a type R 12 4ohm dvc wired @ 2ohm. Can I hook these 3 subs up (As I have wired in the pic)?

-2 Does it matter where I put my power from the amp because if its the 3rd sub in the line it gets less power, so In the middle would be the best?

i would never mix and match brand subs, or sizes ect. to me thats a major no no. if i was you i would run either the p1's or the type r NOT both

Hmm alright. Glad I asked.

Mixing different subs will cause very "muddy" sounding bass, the amp won't care if the final ohm load is alright its just that the SQ will ****.

It doesn't matter where in the current flow a sub is located - the one that receives the least power will be the one that shows the most resistance to he amplifier.
