you dont have to switch anything keith.all inverting does is give more airspace in box and allows you to showoff the back of your subs.dont call someone ignorant unless youre sure what youre talking about. why do you want to do this blain?
why does it matter, try both ways and see if there is a difference. the only thing i could see is the sub is gonna be out phase with the rest of the speakers.
ive heard you are suppose to otherwise the sub will play out of phase but try it both ways first i mena its not a huge deal to switch especially if your inverting it the wires are right there lol
yeah, because if the subs are inverted without changing the wires, when the sub normally moves down into the box, it will be moving up, so you need to change the polarity to reverse this. i hope that made more sense then i think it did
No because all the sub does is go up and down again and again, there isnt any difference of the exursion position. Its just the electricity hitting the vc and it makes no difference which way it hits it.

you know what, my other speakers, like my 6.5" mid and my 1" tweeters just go up and down too... your fuqin right! im gunna switch the polarity and everything for the hell of it cuz, you know what, apparently it doesnt matter...
im going to be honest with you here and tell you that I was taught that if you inverted a sub you had to reverse polarity but in real life when we did it in a install it made no diffrence in how the subwoofer sounded switching the polarity either way.....but maybe this is one of those things that sometimes it matters in some installs and sometimes it doesnt
It matters, sean, if there are other subs/speakers playing the same frequency as the inverted subs.
Do this - Invert one sub, and not the other. Keep them both the same polarity.. Now, reverse the polarity of the inverted sub, while keeping the non-inverted normal.
You will hear a *massive* difference.
Basically - inverting a sub has the same effect as putting a sub out of phase.. (Since when the sub is upsidedown - the down becomes up, and the up becomes down, etc..)
I have two inverted MB Quart 15" in my Firechicken now, and if I wire them in phase, the cancellation is horrible with my 13W7.
