if they are both neutered them yes you can put a female piggie with them because if you dont you will end up with many many baby guinea pigs. the female may also cause fights between the 2 male guinea pigs because they both may want to "be with" the female. Also it might not be that wise to neuter the males or spay the female because there are many risks to the operation since they are so small. I would recommend that if you do want another guinea pig then you should just get the same gender or if you really want a female keep her separate from the males.

If they are all intact, the female will be impregnated in the blink of an eye, and will continue to become pregnant, even immediately after having a litter (overbreeding). This is why it's not responsible to house males with females permanently. The males will also begin fighting for breeding rights when both are sexually mature.
The only way the three can live together is either if BOTH males are neutered, or the female is spayed. Neutering is the easier and cheaper process, and since you have to wait for the baby to become sexually mature anyway, doesn't sound worth the trouble... If you want a third guinea pig, get a male. Or keep the female in a separate cage.

NO.Your male guinea pigs will start fighting and will get hurt.As for the female she will be completely stressed out from all the mating from the males it is a BAD idea!!!!!!!!

No not a good idea think about the piggy and there will be fighting with the males. Also if you don't want a litter of piggy's I would say NO. Neuter the males then it will be fine.

You can but you should spay the female cause if you dont your gonna have 2x the piggies you expected.If the males arent neutered you should neuter them so the males wont be as aggressive together

If you're looking to breed them go ahead, but be careful. Males can become protective and aggressive. Especially as they're different ages.
If you're not looking to breed them them don't mix them!!!
Good luck! :)
