Scott647 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 I was wondering what the pros/cons, if any, of mounting a subwoofer upside down are? as in, having the magnet, basket, voice coil etc outside of the enclosure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Field Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 i think its more for looks , as some woofers have a sexy ass , but more space in the box (- Ford Focus Titanium LW sedan ) REBUILD IN PROGRESS STAND BY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott647 Posted August 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 It might be for more airspace, but i just dont see why/how it would be efficient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterTheDer Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Subwoofer performace should be exactly the same, but here are some differences: Less displacment from the magnet (as it is not in the box anymore) so the box seems slightly larger.(we are talking .14cubes here, small stuff) Better cooling of the subwoofers magnet/cone (as it can get fresh air from outside, as opposed to a sealed box, or ported) A unique look (most pple dont inver their subs it is a great way to show off your beefy magnet, or to emphasize that you dont need to have befy subs for clean sound (depending on your preferences) It is easy to wire/re-wire Thats all i can think of I would recommend trying it, see how it sounds, and decide from there!

Jerry G. Peraza Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Would anyone know if you rever phase them when inverted? Being that they would be kicking in instead? Or it doesn't matter? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hammer Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 you change phase 180* I would just change settings on your headunit if you can, but alot of amps have a setting for phase adjustment too MY BUILD *****http://tinyurl.com/gmcbuild***** Vehicles 2005 GMC Canyon CB1000r - Currently where any future funds are going.
