I am currently running a 12" Pioneer TS-W305C subwoffer and i wanted to add another sub to my system. Is there any reason i cant add a 10" Pioneer TSW255C sub or a 15" Sony XS-L151P5 Pentagonal sub, or wuld it be better to stick with another 12" Pioneer. From what i understand, a 10" will giver a higher frequency response and the 15" will allow for lower frequencies then what the 12" can produce. Is there any reason i cant mix sub sizes???

I would recommned at against running two different sub sizes. You need to locate another identical sub and you may need a different amp accoding to the new ohm load.

I got a 2 ohm stable, 4 x 300watt max amp, with 2 channels bridged into the 4 ohm independant sub. Couldnt i just bridge my other 2 channels to run another 4 ohm 12" sub??? Also wen amplifiers say they put out more at like a 2 ohm load as opposed to 4 ohm (as they wuld with less resistance), do u need to buy a 2 ohm independant sub, or is it to do with the amps wiring as to the resistance??? As most amps have better output with a 1 or 2 ohm load

Not true. Although there is MORE output at a lower ohm load, it is not "better". The better output would be with a 4 ohm load or higher.
Yes, you can bridge another 4 ohm sub onto channels 3 and 4.
It has to do with the voice coil wiring, not amp wiring. Once you wire voice coils together to create a load and attach it to the amp, the amp will provide power according to that load. A single 4 ohm voice coil woofer puts a 4 ohm load onto the amp. Anything different than one SVC requires that you wire coils together.
A 4-channel (or 2-channel) amplifier is normally stable at 2 ohms per channel. That means you can bridge a 4 ohm load across two channels and you will be at the amp's limits. Better output, although less, would be with a 8 ohm load bridged...the amplifier would then produce at it's best rated specs (read the specs in the 4 ohm output). With subs, though, powering at 2 ohms is common and acceptable.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
Ok its at 4 ohm atm, and it gets good clean bass, i was just wondering what other options i had, thanks for the reply, my sub is only SVC
