Default Mix Subs

okay, i just recently bought 1 10" Eclipse Titanim sub. I have it running at 1000 watts.. low and behold my dad forces me to sell the car i installed it into a week later (my 93 prelude) So i find out that the car that im about to buy is a 2000 Civic SI with 2 10" Subs from like... kenwood or pioneer or something, not 100% sure but there nowere near as powerful as my eclipse.. BUT i was going to build the trunk with cool lookin stuff. i was wonderin if it would be okay to use those 3 subs together? or would it sound good having 1 ultrapowerful sub next to ones that together create 500 watts rms? That means ill have 3 amps too.. Ill probably have to buy a Venom Cap. What do you guys say?

What amp do you have now?
You dont need 3 amps for 3 subs.

Also,what ohm config. are all three subs?
You could do it safely no matter what,but i would personally just run the Eclipse.
Just for looks wise.

I had 2 different Rockfords(HX2 and HE) running on 1 amp,just to see if they worked.And they sounded no different than i expected.

So do it if you have enough watts to push all of them to their potential.
The Eclipse can take a ton of power so if your amp is on the small side i wouldnt sacriifce more speakers with less watts,than 1 sub running at its potential.

The 1 sub would be be louder than the 3 underpowered ones.

yeah you could do it, but you would have to low pass and high pass the 10"s, and low pass the 12". It takes patience to get it right, so if you arent in for doing a bit of tuning or dont have a HPF and LPF for the 10"s (i.e. one in the headunit and one in the amp) then dont bother. One titanium is enough bass as it is.

dont do it, the different subs play different frequencies at different levels, so most likely it will cancel each other out and sound worse than jus using 1. but it you want go and try it for yourself and see how it is.
