[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 1542465, member: 555320"] When inverting a single sub you do not necessarily need to wire the positive speaker terminal to the negative amp terminal, and negative speaker terminal to the positive amp terminal. This is the misconception I was speaking of in one of the earlier linked threads. Polarity is not definite. It's something that should be tried both ways, regardless of mounting method, to determine which polarity sounds best with the rest of the system. This means that when inverted, you could arrive at the best results with the sub wired "normal" (+ to +, - to -). To state your above statement is simply, wrong [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] Now mind you, this is for single sub wiring. If there are two subs, they must stay in relative phase as helotaxi pointed out. But that doesn't mean that the inverted subwoofers wiring will be the one that is reversed. The best results may be acheived with the "regular" mounted sub's wiring reversed, and the inverted subwoofers wiring "normal" (+ to +, - to -). [/QUOTE]
