Inverse Sub Mounting

New member Username: CrasslogicPost Number: 5 Registered: Dec-06 | Is there any real advantage to that? In other words, why do some people mount the sub facing in and thus the magnet out? I'd thought about flipping two of my 12"s around 'cuz to me it does kind of look neat, but wouldn't it hurt the performance of a sub? Especially one designed for a sealed enclosure?? |

It sounds the same... maybe a little different just because of the box tuning changes slightly, but most people can't tell. You also don't have to take subwoofer displacemnt into account (box building) when you invert the sub. Plus, you get a nice look at the motor when you do it that way. |
