[QUOTE="Grimolfr, post: 336487, member: 550409"] Just a note: What you're talking about isn't down-firing, it's inverting. A down-firing sub is any sub that faces down, towards the floorboard. Regardless of whether it's firing into or out of the enclosure. An inverted sub is one that faces into the enclosure instead of facing out of the enclosure. Note that it is possible to have a down-firing sub that is also an inverted sub. It's also possible to have a down-firing sub that is not inverted, or an inverted sub that is not down-firing. The two terms are not directly related. But, to answer the question you would have asked had you known this already, if you're mounting a single sub inverted, it's probably better to invert the power also, which means switch the polarity.
