The displacement of the subwoofer is not going to make an acoustically discernable difference.

WinISD does a great job with the response curve, but the 'voice' or 'tonality' of the woofer isn't really represented here -

What size box you make?  Did you port it?  What frequency is it ported at?

Type X's seem to be a bit picky. A bit too big and they get sloppy and a bit too small the output is lacking.
What are the specs of the enclosure you built??

the box is 32w x 17d x 14h i made the port 21 in long and 12"x1" wide at 29 hz. winISD didnt have my driver on there so i entered the paramaters myself. this is my first time i built a ported box or even used winISD. i read the guide on here how to use it and it helped a lot but its still my first time messing with it i didnt double check my t/s parameters but im sure i wasnt to far off, if someone can help me out finding the right dimensions, port length, tuning hz  etc.. for these subs it would mean a heck of a lot,  thanks guys, ill post pics up once i rebuild it.

You said you made "a dual ported box" for "subs", so I guess you have 2 subs?

Then you described one port.  What exactly do you have and how did you design / build the box?

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

i made the ports the same? it looks something like this. nothing to crazy just a dual ported box, im tired of that pre fab "one size fits all" boxes so i came up with something basic, i used the same dimensions and ran it through winisd it  looked good to me, its loud,  i just want it to be able to shake the earth, you know those deep bone shaking notes. where do i go from here?
