Mix and match subs?


I have a Paradigm x10 sub and am planning on adding a second sub. 
Would integration be difficult if I a) got a 10 inch sub from another brand (thinking SF Gravis III to pair with my SF speakers); or b) the x12 from Paradigm (for getting even deeper).

Or c) should I just keep all the same and get another x10?

Then the question becomes should I go with the x12 to get the extra extension, or a second x10 for easier integration as many of you have suggested?
Depends on what kind of music you listen to and how loud. If your current X10 is loud enough on its own, you will be fine adding a second X10. If you need the deeper extension, then you should sell the X10 and go with two X12's. Integration happens at the crossover point, so mis-matched subs won't matter, but the benefit of multiple subs only happens in the frequency range that both subs share. So if you have music that goes lower than the X10 can reproduce, then you will not get the benefit of having two subs in that range.
