will box (freq) be lower if i pull the subs out and go motors up

[thehoe92]

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

dude i thank you for your input,,i think im going to try it,,

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?

yeah,,thats who i was thinking of,,see,,i was told it sounded like POOP

[doubleD]

mine will play some really low stuff,,it plays 20hrtz pretty well,,but i think it needs just a little more help..the song steve meades tahoe ,does pretty well also

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

[doubleD]

yes

responding to this as meaning they sound like poop

[doubleD]

will this effect the woofers excursion any

[fecupe2001]

It shouldn´t in my opinion, i had my 3 1510´s inverted on a test box and sounded awesome!!!

[meade916]

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.
