Boomin660 Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 what is the point of mounting a sub upside down with the magnet on the outside showing? IMO it looks incredibly stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decaf Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 looks mostly... if you need an extra .2cuft and 2-3hz tuning rise it helps some motors look like a piece of art so people invert them... some think it cools the motor better but you run the risk of hearing mechanical noises you wouldnt normaly hear cause the box would filter it out ive done both... didnt notice any mechanical noise for my re se and i did use it for increase box size so... there are a few reasons too and thats what the phase shift is for on an amp...

MickyMcD Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I know when I built a pair of 'slog box' woofers (4 eighteens in a vented box, seperate chambers, internal amplification) for a PA rig, we inverted the drivers to allow cooler air flow into the coil structure. You just slam sloggers for low frequency effects like cannon booms and car crashes, and the interior of the box would get mighty hot with a power amplifier mounted and a large high power woofer going off it's rocker.

How does that RE sound in that box? I actually have the same box but never used it cause it looks too small. n2caraudio.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kicker Guy Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 They also invert mount them so noobs can ask dumb questions like this one. Like you have never had one right? Mainly for looks. If I had like a RE XXX or something I would do it because the motor looks sexy.

Decaf Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 How does that RE sound in that box? I actually have the same box but never used it cause it looks too small. its 2cuft@~35hz but i think i calculated the port wrong and its more like 32hz... it sounded great.. it was an se... its hard to make them sound bad... one of my all time favorite subs... if only they handle more powa' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Performer Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 I think reverse mounting has it's situations where it's good, just like regular mounting. Just not if you're trying to put them behind the seat in a singlecab... CERTIFIED BITCHES!!! Not being new at something doesn't mean anything. Just because a prostitute isn't new at what she does, doesn't change the fact that she still 'sucks' Click to see my build! Proud DC owner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
