Think about it, the front of the sub is completely a different shape all together. If you have a sub with a flat piston shape on the front it should capture more air and push it forward and draw it back with a greater level the by using the back which is conacal in shape and actually moves less air in a given moment. Fact, a flat object will compress a medium quicker and faster then a pointed one. I would also think with cooler surrounding air the VCs would stay cooler. JMHO...Polo. |

The sub will compress the same amount of air in both directions because both volumes of air (inside and outside of the box) stay static, and the driver's cone moves the same distance in both directions from center. inversion doesn't affect output. |
