I'll go with what others have been saying. I think you should get rid of the 10".

No matter what you do, that 10" won't react the same way as a 12" regardless of box design. So, chances are, when everything is playing, you'll get peaks and dips in your sound as the subs either add or cancel each other out at different frequencies.

So, I'd say you'd be better off running all of the same model subs, OR crossing them over at different frequencies so they blend but don't play the same frequencies together. But, in order to do that properly, you'd need a second amp. Now, if you don't have the cash to trade your 10 for a 12, I'm guessing you won't have the cash for another amp.

So, I'd personnaly sell the 10", keep both 12's and use the money to chug down a few cold ones while enjoying a great sounding setup in the comfort of my car ! (without driving it of course... DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE ! You might spill your drink...)

Try running a vehicle with different sized tires all the way around, get the drift? Lose the 10".

If IDEALLY you are prepared to spend the loot to isolate the response from the 10" to the 12", which means adding a crossover. If the end goal is to get more bass, lose the 10" and add two more 12" in the proper box. Match to the proper amp and then you will get the output that you are after.
