You're mixing different drivers with different specifications.

It'll sound terrible.

They will be playing frequencys differently(output, accuracy, extension) This will cause it to sound, unnatural at the least.

You're not comprehending what they are saying.

It has nothing to do with the amplifier. The subwoofers have different specs, will have different response characteristics, different transient responses, etc....it will sound horrible. Period.

Think of it this way:

will your car handle well if you have two 25-inch rims in the back with thin-profile tires, yet 14-inch stock rims with hubcaps with bald tires up front?
