Default Subwoofer to Amp match please help!

So I bought a box that holds three ten inch subs...
I already have an amp and sub in one 10" w6

but I like my brain blowing up so I bought two other cheapo subs (50 bucks)

I was wondering

i wouldnt mix and match subs..because every sub will produce different sounds at certain frequencies..it just wouldnt sound good. if u want to blow your brains out why dont u just spend the money on 2 12's or 2 15's or even an 18"

This is true, and I also strongly recommend against what you're considering. At some frequencies there will be large cancellations, with large peak combinations at other frequencies. Your bass won't be accurate, flat or smooth, but very uneven and not at all natural sounding. For example, you could wind up with something flat at 30Hz, -9dB @ 40, + 12 @ 50, -6 @ 60 and +9 @ 80Hz, which would suck bad.

I'd suggest either sticking with your current JL, and if you want more output, add another of the same. You could also drop the JL and just use the cheap subs instead, as that should sound much better than using all 3 of them all together.

Go ahead and experiment if you'd like, it's a great way to learn about this kind of thing if you have the time, money and don't mind investing the effort required. I'm confident you'll eventually figure out it's a bad idea.

I was thinking of matching the frequencies with the bass controller
