Another Question About Inverted Subs

[Berto]

I'm thinking about doing that and yesterday I asked if it was only possible with certain subs, and they told me it doesn't matter what sub you use, that it's possible. But I read some more about it and I read that "you have to reverse the polarity on the inverted subs" and I was woundering if that was true, and if it is then how do I do that?

[Team_DC-Derrick]

from what ive seen, you only reverse it if you have 1 inverted and another normal.. and to reverse it you just hook up the pos to the negative terminal and negative to the positive, on the one you want to reverse

from what i have been told you only do it if one is normal and the other is reversed. when i inverted my subs we wired them normal. and they were good.

The woofers I'm gonna use are dual voice coils, so i would get the two possitives and connect them to the negative on the amp or what do you mean?

And if I invert both subs then I just hook them up the usual way?

[Got_Bass89]

Yup just hook up normal way...

Is that from woofer to amp?

how ever your going to wire them, switch the wires, if you got 2 dual 4 ohm and both are inverted, wire them normally, if you have 1 inverted and 1 normal, wire the inverted backwards

it will be pos to neg instead of pos to pos.. and neg to pos.. instead o neg to neg

if just 1 is inverted, you need to reverse how its wired, so on the pic, you take the right sub, and take the pos thats going to the pos in the 2nd pic and wire it to the negative and the negative from the right sub and put it on the pos...

if both are inverted, wire it just how that is, *if you have d4 ohm that is and your trying to achieve a 1 ohm load

Ok, I get it now....but one last question, would I still need to reverse the polarities if the subs are each getting their own amp?

yes you have to reverse polarities no matter what it;s like a push pull situation

Oh alright, I get it, don't know how I missed the whole "Push Pull" concept in it.

But thanks to all of you guys for the help.
