ok...I'm trying to help this guy out on another site so here is goes..

3 Boston Acoustics Comp Series Subs 10''

2, single 4 ohm / 1 single 2 ohm

ok, wired in parallel, this will equal 1 ohm.

Now, what issues(if any) will he have running the same subs with different voice coils?

1 Memphis MC3004
4 Memphis Tweeters
1 Memphis 3-way electronic crossover
2 Memphis 5 1/4

Are they all running off one amp?

From my limited knowledge mixing same subs with different resistance would be a bad idea.

The 2-ohm sub will use twice the power of the 4-ohm subs and be twice as loud. It won't damage anything, it's just not the best way to setup a system.
