bassface Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 I dont think its exactly the same though kranny because some subwoofers have slightly offset suspensions for sound quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_smokey Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 here they call it free air when the magnet isn't in a box... cuz they say here inverting subs to switching pos & neg of the sub... i geuss there lots of differences in "giving the kid a name" sort of speak but inverted sub can create great sound quality (depending of your trunk space) but best spl (sound pressure level) is played regular placed... real free airing is when the sub is literally not in a box. or when its in an infinite baffle setup (google it) inverting a sub or mounting it normally doesn't affect the "spl" or "sq" of the sub. where are you getting this from? what characteristics change? the motor gets better cooling from not being in the box. it looks cooler because of the motor being outside. the sub will act 99.9999% the same when being inverted. the suspension characteristics dont change whatsoever. it still moves back and forth the exact same way. i only said how they call it here... and with inverted sub how can your air movement be the same as regular? if you play inverted in a ported box maybe but when you play inverted to a sealed box your air movement can't be the same...

KillaCam Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 What do you mean by "how they call it here". Do you call the moon, mars? Just changing definitions and facts around? It is what it is no matter where you are. And the fact more than one person agrees does not make it a circle jerk, it makes it a bukkake scene and you're in the middle Chick took 3 shots of Jager, and then, pissed in my mouth..

KillaCam Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Alright gotcha'. Kranny has a good explanation of it up there, if you don't believe it then try it out. I doubt you will notice a significant difference if any difference at all. Sub moves the same way, its in the same enclosure. Everything stays the same except for the small amount of displacement.

TeamHT Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 No. Bora and Jetta are two names for the same thing, you are not doing that. You are using two completely separate terms. Displacement is not air movement, and do you even see how small daily subs are? I'm tired of people thinking they're adding so much volume by inverting. Please tell me how you 25oz magnet on a 12" basket was taking up so much space. People keep talking about the sq of it...and I'm almost willing to bet don't know what sq is or even spl. Because sounding good and getting loud do not mean the same thing. The basics have been said already, its pretty laid out. Not to mention this years 45th time Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashlight_65 Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Holy crap this thread is full of jems. To the OP: Step 1- unfasten 32 screws Step 2- turn subs around and rewire Step 3- refasten 32 screws. Step 4- re meter. Step 5- listen to the ear-o-meter and/or look at the difference in the scores (if there is any) and take your pick.
