My advice is use one or the other, not both.

I agree, if you are going to use both sizes of subs, you are going to need a bandpass crossover and a separate amp to drive each different size of sub.

Top Secret, I can tell you but then my wife will kill me.

ok but will it have an adverse effect if i ran them both off oe one amp?

like i mean will it either blow up the amp, or possibly one of the subs?

it will sound really bad. Use the 15" and sell the 10".

depends on your sub, enclosure, and power handling of your sub.

How about you tell us the specs of your 15

Audison is an outstanding company. One of their amps would be a fine piece of gear for anyone.

Well post the sub model number or tell us the manufacturers recommended enclosure volumes.

Is that 17x17x12.5 internal measurements or external.
