[QUOTE="hispls, post: 7350328, member: 614752"] Lots of bad advice here. Yes low Q subs are more suited to ported alignment. They will function in sealed box, but generally won't sound great. The difference between even 50% difference in volume in a sealed box isn't really that pronounced so I wouldn't worry so much about doing sealed box(es). If they're in a box now try to screw a block of wood over the port to seal it up and give that a try, if that helps than there you go. I suspect your box is tuned too high and you're bottoming out the woofer, or pushing your amp into heavy clipping (more likely bottoming out). Sealed enclosure, tuning lower, or using subsonic filter would be solutions.... none of which really optimal since DD is designed for pretty specific alignment. [/QUOTE]
