a lot of people o here will say that that will sound like ****, but then again they just listen to what everyone else says. I say try it, two tens two 12's and see how you like it

i wouldn't do it. it will sound off, seeing how each sub plays differently

 

[theothermike 10+ year member]

dont do it.

itll sound odd and more than likely like ****

keep it all the same.

i got 2 12's im in tampa. and a few boxes.

How will separating the 10's from the 12's sound?

one word: CANCELLATION.

don't do it. run 4 10's or 4 12's. not 2 of each.

you've got a nice little system going on, yet you've got the ignorance of a n00bx.

how about a crossover separating the 10's and the 12's? Just wondering.

I'm the type that tries things that most people laugh at, but you never know what you can learn from your experience.

Let's say it does sound like crap, but what if you were determined to make it work then actually did make it work, you then can thumb your nose at the nay sayers.

I see a lot of guys here make the largest box possible, personally i try to make the smallest box possible, but that's just me.

WHY SAY he will get cancelation... jsut because he is using 2 difrent types of subs. if done RIGHT then you can do it.

It will sound like crap. Your clouded judgment will cause the subs to sound "great" and "awesome" however.

No one makes the largest box possible, nor the smallest. We aim to build the proper enclosure, usually following manufacturer's suggested specs.

Two different sized woofers in the smallest box possible? Gonna sound awesome //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif

Bad idea man. definitley dont do it.

Also, are the HX2s powers? if so.... got pics?

 

[Propimp 10+ year member]

It can be done but wayyyyy tooooo much work and knoledge needed to make it sound good/right, just get 2 of the same subs

Here the REAL story.

While not IDEAL...it will work as long as all subs are in thier own enclosure.

I personally have seen a system like this in action (2-12" and 1-15).. I try to get the owner to change the design to 5-12",but he refuses. He loves it.

So do what you like-its your system.
