Of course it will run but you run the risk of damaging the subs, this is why I stated earlier to disconnect one of them and only use two.

All speakers will be "seeing" a 4 ohm load, however one sub will have considerably more power than the other. Thus to set the gain properly to the most powerful sub will leave the other two making sound, just not to their capabilities. Add to the fact that all subs are in the same enclosure, really not a good idea with subs that are operating at different power levels.

If you connect your amp this way (which is also called mixed mono) you will likely fry the output stage of the amp.  Especially with either Soundstorm or Pyramid (both of which are boat anchors in my book)  Follow Rob's advice.  Use two woofers, wired in stereo to your amp.  Unless of course you don't care about the amp and you want to see it smoke.
