I have a 15" sub in a sealed box but the mounting hole is to small so I inverted the sub does this mean I have to reverse the positive and negative wire at the voice coils and at the amp

And if I do this will it make a difference if I reverse the wires or not and lets say ....I want my sub to fire at the trunk then do I have to turn the box around ?

No...but the hole needs to be the same size no matter what. If it doesn't fit the normal way, I wouldn't use it inverted either. Are you sure the sub's surround is not going to hit the edge when firing? Why not just sut the hole bigger?

Do you mean the box isn't deep enough or the hole you cut for the sub to go into isn't wide enough?

If the box isn't deep enough you can simply cut little riser plates out of leftover MDF, cut your hole in that to raise the sub.

If your mounting hole isn't big enough just make it wider.

DOES IT MATTER WHICH WAY I AIM A INVERTED SUB BECAUSE NOW THE MAGNET IS FACING THE REAR TRUNK SO DO I TURN THE BOX AROUND FOR THE SUB TO STILL BE REAR FIRING

BASICALLY IF I INVERT THE SUB DO I HAVE TO REVERSE THE DIRECTION OF THE BOX TO STILL BE REAR FIRING
