I have three 10-in 4 ohm subwoofers. Normally that's what I run in my truck. However this time it's a little different. Two of the subs are dual voice coil one of them is single voice coil. Can I hook up the two dual voice coil subs in series / parallel equaling a 4 ohm nominal impedance to one channel of my 1 ohm stable mono amp and then hook the single voice coil sub directly to the other channel also equaling a 4 ohm nominal impedance? Normally I have three subs all the same and I wire them in parallel equaling a one ohm load. But I can't do that this time. I just want all three hooked up so will that work?

No. The coils will be wound different and will perform different. Mix-matching subs is rarely good and under no circumstance should you mix and match subs powered by the same amplifier and/or sharing airspace in a box.
 
I would not recommend it if all subs are sharing the same chamber. I myself wouldnt do it at all. I would recommend get or having a tuned enclosure for the matching subs , or purchase a matching 3rd sub if all in same chamber now.

Sure, 600 volts, yep. If you’re trying to launch the subwoofer cones to the moon! And, that’s if they don’t just vaporize first!
