Mounted In Box Vs Reverse Mounted


Recommended Posts

Hey Everyone,

I would like to know the difference of having a sub fire into a box versus being in a box. Also, what is the significance of having 2 subs firing out and one sub firing in? Is it due to being able to save box space because of the displacement of the sub? Thanks for the replies in advance.

i cant tell much about why, but when i took my 15's out and inverted them my peak went from 45hz to 42hz. yes i do have a t/l and did test it. it's louder deeper and just has a better sound.

when inverse mounted, there will be more air space in the box (slightly)....and maybe a little bit of motor noise...thats all i can think of right now...

Hm, So in reality, would you guys reccomend doing reverse mounted vs regular? Any more takes on this from anyone else?

i was wondering the same thing not long ago.

i was thinking about inverting my p2's and seeing if it was any louder/lower/higher or if it had any difference at all.

By firing one sub inside the box and one outside it will throw the subs out of phase unless you wire one out of phase. There's really no benefit to that other than a cosmetic deal cause honestly it doesn't make sense having one in and one out. The only reason I have ever seen people do inverse mounting is for cosmetic reasons or to save .1-.2 cuft inside the box. Really .2 cubes inside the box isn't going to make that much of a difference.

1. More box space. And you can use a box that's smaller than the sub inside, although this is only really useful for hardcore SPL applications.

2. Better cooling for the motor and coil

box volume changes, causing tuning to change, causing the peak to change
