i just installed my 2 12" ssd's in one box with 2 aeroports. the problem is that one woofer moves a lot and the other moves less than half that. the woofer that is not working is the one on the side that the aeroports on, and it is also the farthest from the amp. it is wired in series and the wire going from amp to box is 12ga, from box to first speaker is 12ga, the rest is 14ga. which one of these is the problem

One sub could be connected and the other is disconnected and the only reason the one sub is moving is cause the connected sub is moving it. Go inside the box and recheck your wiring.

i hope it's connected becuase it's as loud as i need it right now. it's very possible one coil is out i had to wrestle it in and prop it up and all kinds of sh1t to get it mounted.

Jesse has a great point; with all themoving and manuvering with the sub u did, its very possible u pulled it out of the terminals or something. just check inside

when you say a coil is out you mean one of my wires came out or something serious?

thier suggesting one of the dul voice coils is not hooked up aka , a wire pulled out. meaning it have to be re hooked up which in general instead of both voice coils working like normal. only one is or the subs not hooked up at all and only being moved from preassure of the other sub.
