You shouldn't do that.  It will not work properly.  You will need to construct a new enclosure for two woofers.

if you are wanting to put two woofers in one box then you will have an isobaric box. The general rule of thumb for an isobaric enclosure is twice the woofers, twice the power, and half the box size. The minimum specs for that specific woofer is for a ported box at 2 cubic feet. Too make it easy for you your best bet is to build a box with two chambers at 2 cubic feet.

Uh, well it COULD be made into an isobaric alignment but just because you use two woofers does not make it isobaric.  Please see this page.

Uhhhh, well, pardon me the almighty king god of all knowledge of speakers and speaker enclosures. So it is that I come before you today my god king to condemn myself, to apologize to you and forum members and to beg all for forgiveness in using the word "WILL" instead of "COULD" in my post to Mr.CHADPCB.

Hold up a minute there is no need for any kind of bashing. I posted this to better understand ported box. But it still seems to confusing so I have decide to put pair in a sealed enclosure with 2ft or air space for each pair. Does this seem possible   
Objective
Box 1 will have 2cft of air space with one pair of 12" subs
Box 2 will have the same
Opinions on this please
Just trying to learn not start fights

Alright here is the box and speakers put in the truck.

Now the fun begins with the trim plates and covers.

By the way it sounds excellent.......
