Boon Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 a few extra feet of wire could technically throw it off even for a split second, i noticed this with my eyes when i had different lengths of wire for my subs You know electricity kinda goes at the speed of light, right? If you can see the difference in a signal travelling the speed of light down wires a few feet in difference with your naked eye then damn, you have some badass eyes. Considering light does a good 983571056 feet/second you're talking a 0.000000001th or so of a second's difference in a 10 foot wire. Quote 10.x volts fo' life!

creyc Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 some of the speaker wires going from 1 sub to another or the amp maybe be longer then the others. Resistance in wire will cause speakers to be out of phase.so its kinda important to have the same length wire for all subs (even if you only need 1 foot of wire for the closest sub, and say 4 feet of wire for the farthest away sub, make all wires 4 feet). If thats not the problem, then its something with a bad coil, or like said before bad wiring. No. Resistance doesn't affect phase, it affects how much power the sub will see. Throw in 100 feet of wire and both subs will still be in phase. One sub will just be seeing less power than the other. Speed of light is pretty fast, afterall. Your issue is either 1) sub wired out of phase, check with battery! or 2) loading issues cause by the box or unequal airspace to each sub or 3) it's all BS and you're just seeing things. 30Hz is still 30 times per second, which is what your TV operates at... Most likely cause being #3, imo.

Coil the wire and it'll act as an inductor and put your phase out by 90 degrees... or run it along the floor of the car and it'll be capacitive and also put your phase out by 90 degrees... takes a LOT of wire to do this though Quote 10.x volts fo' life!
