more midbass?

I wouldn't say never....
It might not have worked for you in the past, but it can be very effective. It's worth trying at least once. Try flipping the phase of each driver individually, the results can sometimes be surprising.

Also, you do know that all T/A does is incrementally adjust the phase of each speaker, right? Swapping the pos and neg does 180*

i dont get it

You don't get what?

i dont get how putting a speaker out of phase could make anything better.

because more than likely your speakers aren't the same distance to your ears. They're in phase with each other but not with your ears. Swapping the phase on one driver could help smooth that out. Not saying that it'll work wonders but it's not going to hurt to try.

Stop beeing a chicken and just give it a try. It's not like it's hard or irreversible or long to do.

*makes the clucking sound of a chicken* hehe.

lol alright ill give it a shot. just the woofer or the whole channel (b4 the passive xover at the amp)? or do i try the tweeter too?

Since you're using passive crossovers you'd want to flip the phase of each driver individually, which means swapping the pos and neg at the crossover. Do one speaker at a time. Swap the phase, take a listen, if you don't like it, swap it back then move on to the next speaker.

hehe that's the spirit!

Swap just the woofer, you can try swaping left and if yout not sure, then put it back and try the right side woofer. It might help, it might not. But I have heard it increase midbase a lot in some cases. Worth a try.

Good luck and update.

i didnt have a tone to test it but i hooked up my DMM to my PDX, played a song, turned it up very loud and only got 6v output, should be about 25v for 150w... interesting. no? ill get a tone when i get home and do it rite, but maybe i was just wrong on my gain setting and its not seeing anywhere the power i thought. its up about half way now, little under.

just thought id share an update.
