inverting multiple subs common chamber

[dmz2711 10+ year member]

All right, i was wondering how to wire multiple subs 2 inverted and 2 regular subs in a common enclosure, without any of them canceling eachother out... I drew a quick diagram below on how i think it should be done, if anyone knows if this is correct, it would be great!!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

won't that just put the subs in series wiring???

In series but since some are inverted they have to, well at least this is understandable to most, they have to work in reverse. Since normally a sub is wired pos to pos and neg to neg a sub that has the cone firing into the box has to be wired pos to neg and neg to pos so that the two subwoofers do not cancel each other out.

so would the diagram be right then??? I mean, i am wiring the normal sub (positive), to the inverted sub (negative), correct????

Connect the inverted subs backwards in relation to the regularly mounted ones. That is all there is to it. It ain't brain science or rocket surgery.

what is the advantage of having inverted subs?? is it batter SQ? or just looks?

This might sound like a dumb Q, but im new to car audio

its a sub with the rear out of the box. I don't think any difference in sq, just more sub box volume...

so is the diagram correct???????????

i dont know the benefit, but i think it sacrafice output...but really not sure though

seems to give some speakers better midbass extension, but at the same time, makes those frequencies sound really weird
