What do you mean by "sucking air"? If you mean port noise, that generally indicates the opening is too small. What is your target tuning and what's the enclosure volume?

The port is sucking in and blowing out at a rate of 20 to 100 times a second. You can not see this.

What exactly is going on that makes you think it is sucking air?

Does it suck air if only one woofer is connected? When only one woofer is connected, does it make more bass than with the 2 of them playing?

It looks like the screws on the outside face are like 2" in. Are they even hitting the side panels?

Are the side panels set in to allow for that or are you screwing into nothing? You are probably leaking air.
