the speakers with a different indipendence would get a different amount of power. like for a simple example if you have a 4 ohm sub hooked to a 2 ohm sub the 4 ohm sub is goign to get half as much power as teh 2 ohm will get. can throw out alot of stuff.

just not a good idea

I would also put them in seperate boxes or chambers. One set of of subs will have different properties than the other. You want to keep them matched.
