One speaker wired out of phaze 180 degrees, or otherwise, reverse polarity on one speaker. This way the speakers will want to push in and out with each other instead of both pushing in on the beat.

you would want to fill the tube with cloth or cotton balls or some other noise dampening material and put a hole in the bottom about the size of a quarter to allow for a resonance chamber that won't restrict the movement of the speaker cone and would eliminate the inverse sound wave coming from the back of the speaker
