Mono/Stereo 3 speaker box with 2 channels
Has any buddy had any success trying to wire a 3 speaker mono/stereo 3 speaker box running off (2) channels. The left and right stereo speakers are suppose to be half the impedance of the singe mono speaker with a LC circuit on on the stereos and a cap on the mono, but I'm trying to find out that if with the right caps and inductors can I get the setup to work with three speakers being the same impedance (4 ohm). The box has separate chambers for each speaker and the two outboard chambers are ported with the center sealed. My amp can't quiet handle all three in parallel (2 ohm amp).
Here's a pic of the box, two ports go all the way through for cooling the amps bellow the box.

are you trying to run your subs in stereo? since sub frequencies are mostly omnidirectional, its not really worth the extra hassle. what do you have for an amp and can it be bridged? what do you have your subs tuned to? you may get some weird frequency responses due to mixing ported and unported.

Sealed and ported subs together Why?
You would be better off getting a mono amp that is 1 ohm stable (new or used).
