Answer 1

it is not recommended that you run different brands and power rated subs within the same system....it will sound a lot better if you just run the pair.

Answer 2

if you are low on money, just run the two P2 subs. they run better that way. if you mix the subs, they may interfere with each other and make it sound worse. plus since your amp is already weak you should just push the two so they get push more efficiently, and sound clearer.

if you got a lil bit money just buy another amp for the P2 that's alot stronger, and put your smaller weaker sub on the older amp.

Answer 3

Sounds like you should just get a different amplifier or use the two 12's alone.

If You wire in parallel the resistance will be below 2 ohms (safe operating for that amplifier).

You could wire two of the subs in a series and then wire that series in parallel with the other sub

but the speakers won't be seeing very much power that way (probably like 50 watts a piece).

not to mention, mixing subs is kind of unheard of...

Personally, i'd just get another amplifier and forget about the 10 inch sub.
