Wired correctly? are you saying that Mono both channels is correct? did you check them for phase. If they are wired out of phase and you push them to hard trying to make bass come out of the cabinet, you could be flexing the cones to the point that they buckle and will make a God awful racket.
If both drivers are facing the same way you'd wire them the same way I.E. Positive to Positive on both drivers, if the are mounted opposite of each other then they should be wired opposite of each other i.E. one driver wired with the positive going the the positive terminal and the negative wire going to the negative...and the other driver would be wired positive wire to the negative terminal on the driver and the negative wire connected to the positive terminal on the driver.
The reason I mentioned go back to a single amp was just in case the happen to be out of phase with each other, this would probably make more of a difference if the were stereo amps bridged mono.
Another scenario would be... if the drivers are clamshelled together, both surround could be touching, which will offset the VC in its gap, in that case you might need to build a spacer to separate the drivers surrounds from touching each other.
Headphone,,,do you have any bass coming from the cabinet, or is it just the racket, and no bass??
