You need to start over. Unless you get really, really lucky, the chances of having good sound with what you did are miniscule. Design and build (or have built) an enclosure that is proper for your subs if you want them to sound right and last a long time. Sorry, there is no other answer.

either that, or give them a crap load more power. but, i'd go with the new box idea.

The box is an ENORMOUS part of how your system will sound. I would def rebuild it.

You could try stuffing it with pink fiberglass(insulation, found at home depot) or polyfil(pillow stuffing or dacron, found at craft store or even walmart).
