THE IDENTICAL SPEAKERS COULD OR COULD NOT SHARE THE SAME AIRSPACE, BUT THE 15 WILL HAVE TO HAVE ITS OWN ENCLOSURE AIR SPACE. EVEN IF IT WERE A SIMPLE SEALED ENCLOSURE, YOU COULD NEVER MIX THE TWO TYPES OF WOOFERS IN THE COMMON AIR SPACE. ALSO KEEP IN MIND THAT EACH TYPE, THE 12'S AND THE 15 SHOULD BE PLAYING DIFFERENT BANDS OF FREQ. USING A VERY STEEP CROSSOVER. AT LEAST 24DB/OCTAVE AND AN EXAMPLE MIGHT BE TO CROSS THE 15 AT 20-40HZ. AND THE 12'S FOR 40-80 OR SO, THE TOP END OF THE 12'S MIGHT BE HIGHER DEPENDING UPON WHICH MID SPEAKERS YOU ARE USING AND HOW LOW YOU CAN CROSS THEM. OK. HOPE THIS HELPS.....V
SOURCE: Bridging two12" subs and one 15" sub to my Rockford fosgate T 1500bd amp
assuming all 3 subs are 3-4 ohms, running all 3 in parallel (the 3 positive leads all attach to the amp positive terminal, and all 3 speaker negative leads connect to the amp negative terminal) will bring you at or above 1 ohm, which the amp is capable of handling. With 1500 watts, you will want to use 8 gague power leads for the amp, 12 gague speaker cables, and an inline 120 amp fuse between the amp and the battery, within 1 foot of the battery.
