can someone show me an inverted sub?

Im remodeling my system and i like the way an inverted sub looks. can someone show me how i should put the wiring for it so it looks clean, i couldnt think of anyways of doing it. Thanks

I guess you could just get some good looking wire, and just take your time. I wasnt really trying to make mine all that neat.

make sure you wire the coils backwards

what do you mean? wire them backwardss?

you have to wire the sub backwards when you invert it so it pushes out air (into the box) than before when it would **** in air

i have a dual 2 ohm sub down to 1 ohm. so i wired - to - to - and + to + to +. how would i switch that around?

use split-loom or mesh-loom. And no, you do not have to wire your subs differently. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

mine is iverted and no you dont wire it backwards

one of my very early setups... i ended up going back to normal because of the small mechanical noise i could hear...

I think he is referring to reversing the phase since inverting it would put it out of phase from where it would normally be. This can be done by wiring the negative from the sub to the positive on the amp and positive from the sub to the negative on the amp. This wouldn't be necessary and you may not even notice the difference but if you want to try it both ways it wouldn't hurt. You can flip the phase from some HU's as well.

if you have one sub inverted and the other not inverted you would wire one out of phase. not necessary if you're just inverting one sub. and there's not much you can do about the wire. get good looking wire, and cut it close to size
