Ok on my amps theres a dial labeled phase they are set at 0, should i play with those or just leave them alone,and should i wire them pos to pos and neg to neg or may doing so damage my subs

Easy way to check is to unhook wires from your amps and hook up a 9v battery. The subs should push outward. If they suck inward then they are out of polarity

can use a 12v drill bat too

What do you base this on?

Op, if the subs are all wired correctly and move the same and are not inverted etc, you can try switching the pos and neg and see if there's an audible difference.

It won't hurt anything as long as both amps are done the same way. You can try back and forth and listen for changes, just remember to turn off your system while doing the wiring.

The sound from the woofer will interact differently with the sound from your other speaker when changing polarity/phase. You might notice a difference and you might not.

Still the most important thing is for all the woofers to be in phase and work together. If they do, you don't really have anything to worry about.

i'll add to that no of orionstang, 12volt_Trini has no idea whas he's talking about, let alone any idea of how to post a picture.

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through.
