[QUOTE="LostCause, post: 430946, member: 554344"] The only time you'll invert the polarity of a sub is either when you have an isobaric system going on or you have just flipped a single sub in a normal box...In the isobaric enclosure scenario you only reverse the polarity of one of the subs (usually the inverted one) so it works in conjunction with its partnered sub...Isobaric enclosures are usually a waste of money and wattage unless you are really strict on space...I've also never seen a ported isobaric enclosure...so don't flip the polarity on your subs because you don't have an isobaric setup... In a normal box with one sub or two (both facing their faces out or in...) you can reverse the polarities by flipping BOTH subs so their baskets face out...don't invert just one sub in a normal enclosure because you'll probably cause damage... Don't quote me on this but it seems that the practical reason for inverting a basket (beyond it looking nice) is to maximize the space inside of a sub box...without the basket and motor unit taking up space inside the box you could build it a bit smaller...I think they sound the same though...
