[QUOTE="SoundSyllabi, post: 8774541, member: 684355"] I mean, you CAN run multiple sized subs together. Even different brands. However, extremely dicey if you're putting rated power and even dicier if you're not. A lot of factors come into play. Each different sub is going to have a different resonant frequency and require a different enclosure for their optimum SQ or SPL. Rated power of each of the subs needs to be extremely close or you'll be limited or hopefully you are sure to limit the power to the weakest sub in the mix. Dual voice coils, Single Voice coils, and their resistances can be tricky but you'd want a decent volt/resistance tester to minimize chances something could go wrong. Most speakers aren't excatly their stated resistance. TLDR; USUALLY not worth it unless you're careful and willing to take a chance. I currently have 2 10" Massive Audio DC-10's (dual 4 ohm) and a 15" Kicker SOLO-BARIC L7 (dual 4 ohm) wired parralel to each other and parralel to the amp resulting in around a .67 ohm load. They don't share a common enclosure as they have very different resonant frequencies. This is my house stereo btw. [/QUOTE]
