I was wondering if I could wire up one (1) dual 4 ohm 12" kicker CVR (400 Watts RMS) and two (2) dual 2 ohm 10" kicker CVRs (400 Watts RMS each) to the same amplifier? What amplifier would be recommended for this type of configuration? Exactly what would be the wiring configuration for this type of setup?
Here's what I know:
-the 12" sub can be wired at either 2 or 8 ohms
-the 10" subs can (together) be wired at .5, 2 or 8 ohms (individually can be wired at either 1 or 4 ohms)
-all three subs are rated at 400 Watts RMS each
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

If you run the 10's at 4-ohms each, (400WRMS power handling) and run only one voice coil on the 12" driver at 4-ohms, (short the other voicecoil, and about 360WRMS) you could use a 1000W @ 1-ohm amplifier. 360*3=1080WRMS @ 1-ohm
If those three drivers are paralleled, your actual impedance would be around 1.33-ohms, which is why you'd need a 1-ohm stable amplifier.
Now... Will this work? Absolutely, it will work. Will it be OPTIMAL? Probably not. Either the 10's will play louder than the 12, or the other way around. Will you be able to use the same alignment on the enclosures? No, for sure.
It WILL work, as I've already stated, but I'd never recommend it.

Better off running 3 12s instead just sell the 1 10 bro
