I've seen many custom setups witht the sub magnet mounted outside of a sealed box. Does this actually work good? Has anyone ever tried this?

oh shit another guy from sav wtf is up, add more volume to the box, but you need to reverse the polarity of the subs. I like the look of the cone better than the basket myself altho some do like **** good, but id rather see the cone moving

but you need to reverse the polarity of the subs.

You only have to reverse the polarity if you have one sub inverted and one sub not inverted. If you invert both subs, you don't have to reverse the polarity. You should try it both ways and see which sounds best....just like you should with a typical subwoofer install //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Reverse the polarity? Like attach negative to positive and so on?

you dont even have to bother reversing the polarity. thats only if you have two subs, one mounted inverted, one mounter conventionally

oh well it seems like if they werent reversed then the speaker would move into the box instead of it and it wouldnt, be as loud.

Speakers don't move just one way. It's a symmetrical motion.....it moves "out" just as much as it moves "in", which means it doesn't matter which way the speaker is facing, the motion is exactly the same either way.

wait. so the gremlins in the box dont move the speaker?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eyebrow.gif.fe2c18d8720fe8c7eaed347b21ea05a5.gif

Had mine in a wall enclousere with the magnets facing out and seemed to be a little louder than the normal way. But might of been that the magnet was right behind my head. lol!

This is to much of a general statement to make. Normally you will loose minimal output, but once again install dependant.
