3 subs, 2 amps

I have a P3D2-10 on a P1000x5. 746w @ 1ohm to the subwoofer channel.

I was wondering if I could add a P1000x1 on 2 P3D4-10 and have all 3 subs in a single box. Can it be done? What limits me from doing so?

A. I believe the D4 and D2 subs have slightly different T/S parameters. As such, I wouldn't load them into a shared chamber.

B. If the three subs aren't getting EXACTLY the same amount of power, you're going to run into issues with them being in a shared chamber.

You can't run different power to the subs if there in the same box.

spl dust is an option you can get on the coils... it's great for extra 1000 watts of power

where can i get this spl dust and how much is it. is it hard to apply? lol

not a good idea imo since 2 subs are gonna see a set amount of power and then the third will see something completely different which is going to cause problems just get a new bigger amp to run all 3

In a shared chamber? Have fun with that.

My advice stands OP. I wouldn't. Opinions are like.......

Don't ask for trouble, get 3 D2 subs and a single amp to run them all at 1.3 ohm. Simple works best.

What kind of wattage would I be looking for? 1500 @ 1ohm?
