    I had my 2 tens in tha same box, with 2 different amps, and one amp was 50 watts bigger than the other, so I knew it wouldn't works, so I unhooked everything, broke down tha big box and made 2 seperate boxes, and wired them both back using the one amp per sub. I set up 2 toggle switches on tha amp in tha dash, cause my radio was missing tha remote wire.. I throw either switch with the other off, it sounds pretty good.. throw both switches, both amps come on, both woofers flex like they sould, but it sounds HORRIBLE. I was ****ED. Mainly because it took so long to break the boxes down and I don't have a single clue why when both amps are on it makes em sound so bad.. so someone help me... please...


    Also I wasn't sure what tha problem was.. Tha subs, tha wiring, tha amps, exc, so I jus put it here.. Sorry if this isn't tha right place..

    Well you have 2 different amps, one is more powerful than the other, different power supplies, different damping factors, effiecency is also not the same. One woofer is probably being pushed faster and harder than the other and they so they are doing the same thing but at different times. Also check your wiring on the speakers, make sure they are wired the same cause if you have one wired different that will make one push while the other one pulling and they will cancel each other out. Just wire the biggest amp to both of them and save your $$ to buy a bigger amp.

    Fstrfvo pretty much hit the hammer on the nail lol. Prolly something to do with 2 different amps and different power, your box, one sub pushing and the other one repelling.
