thehoe92 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 just my opinion.. I always thought my 18 sounded louder to the ear when it was inverted.. felt like it moved more air and was able to play a little lower, cleaner than when it was in the box before I had my amp o-scoped it ran hot and I inverted it, never smelled it again then got it o-scoped and it never got hot so yes they will run cooler, with 4 18's out of the box inverted they will lower the tuning and overall I'd say you will like it better also easier to wire and if your motors are sexy enough thats more woofer porn Quote Wouldnt be thehoe92 without teh purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehoe92 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 just take a look at lil_walbangers stormtrooper inverted and SMASHING the lows could be because his box is tuned to 28hz and the woofers Fs are 22hz but still.. and his motors are literally cold after demoing C&S take pictures and do you have a build log?

thehoe92 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 yeah,,thats who i was thinking of,,see,,i was told it sounded like POOP by poop what exactly do you mean? maybe people are trying to invert shitty woofers hoping for a miracle and they still sound like poop but its different per application much like car audio itself so you'll never know unless you try and if you don't like it, you just wasted an hour of work and some curse words but just flip them back over and keep slamming like normal or rebuild and tune lower Quote Wouldnt be thehoe92 without teh purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meade916 Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 if i do flip them,,will i need to change anything,,like the phasing or whatever if you have 4 18's and each one is .25 cubes of displacement, you will gain an entire cube which SHOULD lower your tuning...it all depends on what your box sounded like before or what the specs were though - you just have to try. as for phasing you dont have to change anything. The signal is A/C so it makes no difference as long as all the subs are wired the SAME. If you have 2 inverted and 2 NOT inverted (or something like that) then you would need to flip the wires on just two.
