2 Kicker CVR 10's - One getting more power than the other, or leaky box?

[Ron91]

The subs are brand new, 4 DVC Kicker CVR's in a two chamber sealed probox being pushed by a Cadence TXA1000D with 1000rms @ 1ohm. I drilled a whole through the middle of the two chambers to run wire necessary for a 1 ohm load. I seem to have a problem though...

The sub on the right is flexing more than the one on the left. I took the subs out of the box and double checked the wiring and it all seems right. I think the cap on the right side subwoofer is leaking air. Could this make the sub flex more than the other?

Thanks for any help!

yup a leak makes a big diff

I took some cauk and filled up around the wire holes. We'll see if that makes a difference.

Btw, can these subs handle more than their rated power (400rms)? I've heard after you break them in a little that they can handle 500-600rms. I'm not sure if this is true.

Edit-

I wired it wrong. Opened it up today and fixed it. I had the + wire starting from the left sub then running to the right, while the - was starting at the right sub and running to the left. Guess that doesn't work.
