I've read somewhere that when inverting one woofer, you need to switch the polarity.

is this true?

yes you do.if you have a amp that has a phase just put it on 180

That's why they don't deliver.

Yer ass better go sit along the side of the road and wait.

You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start :D

I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

No u don't.

No need for it, only need to switch polarity if u have 1 woofer inverted out of 2 or more woofers. ;)

Thinking is the root of all problems...

that only works if you have one amp per sub

if you have one sub you do not need to switch anything

Yes, reverse the wires. Otherwise the output from your subs will be 180 degrees out of phase from the rest of your system. This is fact.

It does not matter how many woofers you have, if your ONE woofer is out of phase from the rest of your system, than its out of phase. Yes, if you have multiple subs and one is out of phase with the rest, that is a problem too. But having your subs out of phase with the rest of your system is a problem also. Why do you think people use time alignment? Not only to set your stage, but to bring your subs in phase with your front stage.

Any one who says otherwise, I would love your explaination.

You wouldn't hear the difference. :P

And even if u wire it how u say the sound will be not 100% in phase neither, but because you're components don't play the same thing as you're subs it shouldn't cancel anything out. :peepwall:
