Excellent video topic of choice for discussion brother

Seems like "hearing the venting" is all the reason to never invert them.

Isobaric setups are actually the BEST for spaces like your vehicle. so basically you wire your subwoffer inverted without bridging it and it will pull when it's supposed to push. doing this is okay in terms of sound quality and might even improve the efficiency of your cars sterio When you have the rest of the cars speakers wired traditionally and the inverted subwoffer in trunk at matching impedance, the speakers in the doors and dashboard then actively absorb the negative pressure change from the subwoffer as they work, this actually allows the main speakers to operate more efficiently and might even produce some interesting crate filtering effects depending on modularity of the cars stereo system (position of speakers and frequency response) this concept of isobaric wavelengths are actually very desirable when you want the wavelengths (sound) to travel not (FROM) your vehicle, but (THROUGH) it. Thus means that interestingly enough if your setup is designed like my car is, you literally hear nothing but snare once you step aside from the vehicle. Thus confusing the shit out of every person who sits in your car and decieving all the neighbors into thinking my bass is turned off until thed stick their face in the window and the headroom of the waveform finally travels in one ear and out of the other. This setup makes the lower frequencies of any song literally SUBTRACT pressure from your head when in fact the waveform is supposed to be ADDING it to your ears. This makes the actual sounding wavelengths only acoustically noticeable when inside the vehicle... You'll notice no one else's windows or house will shake and you can listen literally as loud as you want granted you MATCH the subwoffers power output to the other speakers so that you don't actually blow out the cars speakers when you turn the master volume up...

I have a 06 XB as well, and I have a huge Wolfram 15 I want to put in there. I want to invert the woofer because 1, I think it looks cool... 2, like you said, airspace. I think it’s going to be a super tight fit, and I think to get the 3.5-4 cubic ft of air space it needs, I might have to invert it.

Nice info

Reversing polarity helps the SQ of your component/door speakers so that they aren't cancelled out by the sub.

I have 2 rockville k6 that i had to invert because they have super wide baskets that wont fit my sub zero box. the box is like 1.85 cubic feet per sub.

I have a 10inch sub n it's kinda smallish for a 10inch and the port is kinda small idk if I invert it idk if it'll get more bass or so n there's a 8inch sub inside when u take off the 10inch subwoofer box

I have a question ,I have a rockford fosgate ported box designed for 12" subs ,would it be possible to use some fifteens in this box either standard mount or inverted .or if I just seal up the original sun holes and run just one 15" in it ?????please help need info s.a.p.

That enclosure looks big enough for that sub.

I'm a huge fan of inverting. Especially in suv's or of that sort. Makes for a more "boomy" situation. If you want SQ, don't invert.

Happy Monday bro

How did you seal the sub? Because my L7S's have rough top surfaces so there will def be small gaps between baffle and sub. I'm gonna try weatherstripping caulk tape, $3 @ Walmart which E.X.O. suggests in one of his videos.

Isnt there a way to have the box water cooled if the voice coils are water resistant? So you get that wavy 🌊 bass 🔊💪🏼??

I want some advice on buying subs, I'm a jbl fan and I want to know if DVC or SVC will be better firstly and if you have any knowledge on them maybe help me deside on the best sounding one between Gt5-12D dual coil 275 watt rms; and jbl stage 1210 250watt rms single coil.

Hey bro ive noticed a new sub out there By Harmony Audio its called the Monalith have you heard or seen of these?? They are only $300 and they look beefy. I want to say they have that T basket. Check it out if u get a chance.

How do you invert the subs when the outer lip around the basket prevents it from sitting flush on the wood?

What gauge wire is running from the amp to the sub? Just got a 1500 watt amp and want to use some spare 12 gauge wire.

I have a fiberglassed ported bandpass box with 2 JBL 12's should I invert them inward and remove the fiberglass face?

So if I invert both of my subs in a sealed box .. do I wire them normal or invert the polarity as well ?? Or is it fine if I invert both instead of just 1 ... please can someone answer me ASAP !!! I’m wiring them in as I speak

I inverted sum German concept 12s in a big sealed box and it hit very hard ,

🔉🔊🇧🇷

If I invert my subs do I have to switch polarity?

Should i invert my sealed 10’

Does the box afto be built a special way ?

I have the audiopipe Brazilian 6k amp

Inverting a single subwoofer alone only matters to the guy who's looking at the thing while he's listening to it. The actual benefit of inverting a subwoofer driver is apparent when you have a second driver that is NOT inverted and the polarity is oposite (popularized by M&K "push/pull" subwoofers).

How do you have yours wired?

Found this after melting my subs and not being able to tell until it was too late. Mild system, 2 entry level 10s in a sealed box on 460 RMS. Designed with poor cooling, all they had was the hole in the pole. These little things were smoking their brains out, and I couldn't smell it inside the sealed box. I ripped one out and smoke billowed out of the box. And boy were they hot. I could barely touch it. The magnet itself was the hottest piece but the basket wasn't too far behind. I later realized that the glue that held the spider to the basket had let go and there was nothing locating the voice coil. The adhesive holding the speaker together became so hot that it began to liquify, and I couldn't tell, and let them Blast away until it all came apart. I pulled the second one and it didn't smell anything like the first one, you know that smell of burnt speakers. This was strictly a chemical smell, it was just adhesive I was smelling no voice coil. Sure enough, two-thirds of the spider come off the basket. Replace them with the exact same pair of speakers mounted inverted strictly for the purpose of keeping them cool. Playing under identical conditions that blew the original set, these get slightly warm to the touch. And playing under those identical conditions, it is remaining glued together. I can't tell you or calculate in anyway how much more efficient it is at cooling, but I can tell you it is effective

I believe inverted subs hit deepest harder notes 🤔

Take a battery with springs on top or a 9 v and check the popularity but u do u lol I like being for 100 % cause I have seen some cheaper subs that's marked backwards u just never kno now do ya fr and a helper for any one with a trunk if u take pvc pipe and pipe it throw ur rear deck plate ur shit will hit super hard because its not trying to fight throw ur trunk no more its being force feed into ur cab with ya and then ur shit will be intenze as he'll because when all the maths done u will be pretty well running some type of 4th order and trust me after I done it no way in he'll I'll ever not build my stuff into the cab idc what kinda car it was if its got a trunk I'll be pipping that sucker right into the cab till the day I die fr fr steve meada did his black car like that if its good enough for steve its good enough for me fr cause he doesn't play with his rides bet ...

You lost all credibility when I heard the word audiopipe get rid of that junk smh 🤦‍♂️

Guys don’t be stupid do not hook the positive to the negative this guy is wack
