One sub responsive the others not?? HELP

[Mr.SoloDolo 10+ year member]

I want tips on how to tell if a sub is actually functioning without having the pull everything out.!

Notes:

I have (2)12's running in 3cubes @30hz (wired to .7)

DMM shows evertyhing is wired CORRECTLY but....

Left sub closes to port is very responsive and the one next to it I'm assuming is moving just from the pressure in the box. I don't want to pull absolutely everything out so if you know a way to test them while in the box that'd be great.

power each sub individually from the amp to see if one is bad?

you cant test em if you cant get to the terminals or wires for each sub individually...

This... maybe i'll turn the high pass filter off and listen for vocals from each speaker =/

p.s. both are brand new so maybe one is a little stiffer than the other!? or possibly one closer to the port end isn't loading as well

If the subs show the correct ohm load at the amp then this means the coils have to be wired correctly right?

I don't understand why one sub is not responding but it shows the correct load.

Just thought I'd ask because I don't want to pull everything out yet again for nothing.
