Right now it sounds great but I've heard around that you gotta swap the polarity or something ???? Like + to - or somthing. I'm talking about the wires going to the actual amp. |

Silver Member Username: TheelfkeeperStockbridge, GA USA Post Number: 832 Registered: Feb-05 | yeah, i think your suppose to swap the polarity, instead of - to - and + to + from the amp to sub, hook - to + and + to -. but inverting a sub but keeping a ported box that was made for the sub mounted normally will change the sound. inverting the sub increases the airspace inside the box. not sure how much this will change though |

Silver Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 671 Registered: Nov-05 | if you switch the polarity....- to +....+to-...from sub to amp.,.that makes it louder?? i thought you were not suposed to change that |

Silver Member Username: BlainewPost Number: 674 Registered: Nov-05 | nevermind about it being louder.. but what is the point of switching polarity? |

Silver Member Username: TheelfkeeperStockbridge, GA USA Post Number: 853 Registered: Feb-05 | if you invert the subs, your suppose to change the polarity because you are changing the direction the sub is fireing from the box. just think about it for a second and you'll get it. |

Gold Member Username: TdbdadrummerPost Number: 1030 Registered: Aug-05 | I get it, but I'm pretty sure Jonathan/GW/Isaac/Joe Smoe have all stated before that INVERTING DOES NOT MAKE A SUB LOUDER/SOUND BETTER! At least not at an audible perspective. |
