Subs are designed to work in specific volume air spaces. Is one box bigger than another? Are these true MDF boxes or cheap prefab particle board boxes? Also check the new box to make sure its sealing properly and not leaking air. Once youve put a sub in a particle board box if you ever take it out the box is pretty much shot. You should always run a sub with a crossover too help clean the sound up because anything above 100 hz a sub usually has trouble reproducing. What brand amp do you have?

If you can hear voices out of the subwoofers, you LP crossover is set too high or off completely. Maybe you guys bumped the toggle switch? Usually labeled "HP-FULL-LP"
