Sounds like you have your sub speaker wires reversed on one of them. From the way you describe it, I think your subs are out of Phase. This means that the polarity, or +/- are reversed on one of the subs. Essentially, this causes a cancellation effect when both subs are playing, the base waves are osscilating opposite each other, and cancelling each other. This would also be why it sounds louder when only one is playing, because you eliminate the phase problem. Check your wires from your amp to your subs, and make sure everything is correct. If you have anymore questions, let me know.
