What amp do you have???
meter the coils and check if they are anywhere near 4 ohms

Check to see if you have:

1.  Exact same signal input to both subs.

2.  Exact same resistance measurement across terminals of both subs.

I suspect you will find a lower resistance on that troublesome sub than the other one.

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

Probably because your amp cannot handle a one-ohm load.  What amp?

That amp is only stable to one ohm stereo.   not bridged.   If you are attempting to run the 2 subs bridged it will cause serious damage to this amp

Yep. You can't get full power from that amp with those subs. If you had 2 2ohm dvc subs you could (1ohm each channel). Your only option, for most power output, is to run it 2ohm stereo.
