if you bought them new, then check the instruction manual...  if not, or you already threw them away.. then go to http://www.jlaudio.com/subwoofers/pdfs/12W3_MAN.pdf   and that will give you the wiring diagram.  you will have to know wether they are dual 2 dual 4 or dual 6 ohm voice coils.  and you will have to have a pdf reader

YES, your subs need to be exactly the same, take the dual 6ohm back and replace with a dual 4 ohm to match the others. The subs you have does not present a stable load among themselves, current will take the path of least resistance, compare your car to with 3 17" wheels and 1 15" wheel, how will it handle and accelerate, sure it will move but not properly.
