Having them set different (if 180) is the same as having the coils wired out of phase and will result in no cone movement and LOTS of built up heat. Same goes for continually adjustable phase... if one is set to 0 and the other 49degrees... things are out of whack as well... DMM and set up the output voltage for each to be the same, and you are good to go.
