[QUOTE="marcopolo, post: 129082, member: 542636"] Sorry, my mistake!!! Don't know what I was thinking, guess it was just too late... You don't loose 3dB, but the volume lever is slightly lower. About polarity: The phase reverses when the sub is mounted inverted - say that every speaker in your car is connected properly -> pluses to pluses and minuses to minuses, including the sub. So all speakers move up and down simultanously, but - since the sub is mounted inverted, the sub will push air out (moving down) when all other speakers will "****" the air in (moving down). Anyways, sometimes it is even better to have a phase switched on the sub - it could work well with your front system so the lower notes would seem to come from the front and not from the trunk - where i assume that the sub is. Sorry 4 mistake, hope you get this polarity stuf. Bye! [/QUOTE]
