Has the surround separated from the cone or frame?

If not you probably have different problem like a misalligned voice coil or voice coil/cone/suspension separation.

Are you holding down the cone or the edge of the surround? If the surround has simply become unnattached you could probably just glue it back yourself, but don't expect it to stay put for long if you continue to run the subs hard.

Make sure you're not using too small of a box as well.

Are you pushing on the cone or the surround(at the frame)?

Too small a box defintely ain't good if you're using a bunch of power. It seems you've been having a lot of problems with this setup. Why don't you tell us the amount of air space(or box dimensions) these things are playing in.

According to Alphasonik you need a minimum of .75 ft^3 each for the 210's.
