 Whats up with my sub?

Alright so I installed my subs in a box and hooked everything up in my car and as I was playing some test tones I noticed that one sub seems weaker then the other. They are both 12" kicker L7's 2 ohm dvc hooked up to a single kicker zx1500.1 amp at two ohms like this http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=2&I=22#results Any ideas on what would cause this or if it's ok?

well one sub could be broken in while the other is fairly new/stiff, or your box is made incorrectly causing a turbulence in air movement, making a pocket. but its probubly either the broken in theorem or different guage wire? what guage wire u running? and is one sub older than the other?

It's 14 gauge wire and I don't see how it could not be broken in while the other is because I bought them both at the same time and never ran just one of them. I've had them for about 5-6 months and I had them in a crappy box but I had the gain set to zero and usually didn't even run them by disconnecting the RCA cables from the head unit.

switch one rca to see if it is just the cable
