For the record... level match the two subs and equalize them together. It is next to impossible to equalize two subs individually... it just does not work and I have yet to see anyone do it successfully. You listen to them both at the same time... if you measure them separately, you will not be measuring what you are really listening to and the response will not be the same - no way it can be.
If it's worth anything, I agree. The sound waves created from the subs will interact with each other on their way to reaching your ears, creating cancellations and spikes in the response. Only way to take that into account is by measuring both subs at the same time. Before even touching the EQ though, experiment with moving the two subs around a little bit, even if only 1-2' this way or that, it can make a huge difference.

With that said, I would still go ahead and at least measure each sub individually - if you find one has a great natural response and the other one horrible, I would move the horrible one next to the great one if possible, then use those locations as your starting point.
