Just flip the fucking thing over, You can reverse the polarity, but most ppl wont notice any difference in sound.

it will drop you a little in tuning

Step 1: Grab woofer

Step 2: Flip woofer over

Step 3: ???

Step 4: Profit :)

But in all seriousness, you want to make sure it is mounted perfectly so nothing rubs against the baffle, and you want to switch the phase. Don't most amps come with a phase knob, where you can turn between 0 and 180 degrees? Seems to me you would just turn it to 180 degree, but I may be wrong. I am a noob :)

well the little searching i've done, said i needed to switch polarity, and i was wondering if it was NEEDED and if it was as easy as switching my positive and negatives around when they attach to my amp terminals lol, im just trying to learn all this stuff still ! lol

It won't make a huge difference mate, you'll only gain the amount of airspace that the woofers displaced, which isn't much. You probably won't even notice the difference... But I love inverted woofers, they are sexy! Love dat ass ;) lmao
