newbie questions

[wafsman 10+ year member]

first let me apologize for you having to continue to put up with my barrage of newbie questions, but please bear with me, i will get it eventually.

so on one hand i have people here telling me not to mix subs of any kind, period. and on the other hand i have someone who has a system with two 10" kicker's and two 12" jl's, all on one amp, and his shit pounds. so what's up? what's the reason why i shouldn't mix subs? if you're not supposed to mix subs, why does his sound good? can you mix enclosures, like having two 12's in a sealed box and three 12's in a ported box, if they were on separate amps? does running your mixed subs at different frequencies alleviate the problem?

why?

you "CAN" mix up whatever you want. is it going to be right? no.

just run 4 of the same subs, in the same enclosure. its fine to run 2 seperate enclosures, but both being the same specs.

it may soudn good to you, but it really doesnt. just set it up the right way from the get go.
