Try using longer ports. Probably you are using a port tuning of over 40-45hz, and damaging the subs when you get to lower notes. TRy tuning those to 32-34 hz and you will hear a whole load of differences.

For boxes, Many people in here can help you design for free and paying.

x2, you're probably tuned too high. Up the box size to ~4ft^3 for both subs, and tune in the low-mid 30's like guacho said.
