3kout Posted June 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) Surely having it inverted would make it handle the lows SLIGHTLY better because the basket/magnet wont be taking up any room in the box, making the volume of the box slightly larger when the woofer is inverted, and smaller when the woofer is mounted as normal with the basket/magnet in the box? I'm not sure what the driver displacement of a type R is so I don't know exactly how much room the box will gain when inverted, I know its a bit smaller than the older type R models.

fecupe2001 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 This is correct on theory, but since it´s a single sub and it´s displacement isn´t that big, to the ears it won´t change anything, if we were talking about 4 subs i guess it would be another story Quote I´m the SPL Gains topic creator!! wanna get louder?? check this: SPL Gains.

Actually the only time you should worry about changing polarity is if you have a second sub in the same box mounted regularly so the two don’t cancel each other out.
