I'm planning to use a single 10" which I have right now, and add another single 15" to this. Is this ok or will it sound wierd? Anyone tried this? I will cross them 10" 125 hz down and 15" 80 hz down.

I wouldnt do it. The response on the subs will be different and SQ may sound weird.

NO, only do this if the subs are playing different frequencies.

For Example, one 15 playing 50hz and down, one 10 playing 50 - 100hz and the speakers playing the rest.

--------------------
H/U: Panasonic CQ-DFX701u
Front Stage: Infinity Kappa 462.3cfp
Front Amp: JBL DA3504
Sub: 2 Crossfire BMF XT15F
Sub Amp: MTX RT2400x (need something more POWERFUL!!!)

Well, it is ok, you just have to set them up properly so they don't sound weird.

1) They must have seperate airspace (different boxes, or a divided box)

2) You need to restrict the frequencies that go to each sub. (Like mentioned above)

The first one is easy to do, but the second will require some time, work, and money.

--------------------

(1) PPI AMP PCX-2200 (800 Watts @4ohms Bridged) PCX-480 for my highs
(2) DD 3512a's in a 4.4cube box with 50sq. inches of port tuned to 33Hz

just use the 10 as a midbass, and the 15 as a sub woofer
