8000watts Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 just the other day, sumthin told me to check my polarity on all my speakers and realized that one of my subs was out of phase (2 12's)...i wired it correctly and im not sure if i hear or feel a difference...just curious if theres n e 1 that has half of their subs in phase and half out?? maybe i heard certain notes a little better when i had one outta phase...not too sure tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siucsaluki11 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 If they were out of phase you shouldnt have gotten much if any sound iirc. I mean, the waves would cancel eachother out, and therefore there should be no sound. You sure it was out of phase?

Ben Building Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 (edited) If your subs were out of phase from the beginning, you would have been VERY unhappy with your system so far. What kind of amp are you using? Edited July 31, 2009 by Ben Building Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1992Chevy K1500 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 If it was 1/2 of them, then you would here sound, but it would be very muted. If 1/3 or 1/4 was out of phase, it would be less noticeable. If they were covered in some way but the seats, then it would only be noticeable with a mic.

I mean, in theory, if there were 2 subs exactly the same getting the same signals in a single chamber, they would completely cancel each other out, wouldnt they? If it were one out of 3 then the 2 would overpower it and it should only sound like there were 1 sub not 3. 1 out of 4, it should sound like 2 subs, i would assume, just going off what i remember from HS physics a few years back now.

1992Chevy K1500 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Theory doesn't always translate into reality. I've tried it myself with two subs. I could hear the sound, but it was noticeably muted. The 700 watt amp powering them sounded more like a 50 watt.

I know. I had the 800 watt one. I plugged it into my 4x6 dash speakers (35 watts each) and at full power they were barely sweating. Then it took a dump in it's electronic pants and hasn't worked since. /Back on topic now Edited July 31, 2009 by 1992Chevy Quote My comp setup (Not bad for what it is): HP Compaq Presario V6120US laptop with: 15.4" widescreen AMD Turion 64 X2 1.6GHz processor 2x1GB stick DDR2 SDRAM (667 Mhz) Seagate Momentus 500GB SATA HDD 128MB shared video memory Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit 12 cell Lithium Ion battery (actual battery usage time: 6 hours) What it does: On a USB 2.0 Wireless card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
