could it be that the subs are falling apart? or that you have several hundred feet of speaker wire laying around on the ground?:D:D:D

-_- no because only 100 feet of wire is in use and no even if my subs had no surround i cold still se them moving and the way i no one is getting more bass is because one is moving WAYYYYYY more

First thing I would do is bring in two known good, matching speakers and hook them up in place of the speakers you're having issues with to make sure you don't have an issue with your amp.
If that's all good then you could have an issue with one of your drivers; shorted voice coil or some such. One of your subs should not move WAYYYYYY more than the other, regardless (that sounds like a woofer is out of control). Disconnect the R speaker completely (make sure you don't short the speaker leads) and make sure the L, when fully connected, sounds like it's supposed to. If that checks out, then disconnect the L and hook up the right. Sound like it's supposed to? If so then hook them both up. If suddenly the sound goes to **** I'd say you've got a speaker out of phase somewhere... if it sounds like it's supposed to then I've fixed your problem magically across many miles, and you owe me $50.00. I accept Paypal, cash, and chickens.

What are these speakers, and what is the crossover circuit. Clearly there is something wrong in the crossover, either a wiring error or failed component. Most likely a wiring error in the crossover.

Seriously, I have no life.
You have phase cancellation because of where your speakers and sub are placed. Move either, or both, and it will change.

dont diss my subs they are amazing, but there almost dead
Its the speakers I'm referring to. What kind of speaker has no crossover between different sized drivers? Answer: - Red Neck ones.
