[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 8070646, member: 549629"] In laymans terms: when the speaker receives a signal, it either starts cone motion by moving it out, or moving it in (remember, in its unpowered state, the cone is resting centered in its range of motion). If in its currently wired state, the cone starts by moving out, then reversing the speaker wires means the cone will start by moving in. This is why if you invert a speaker, you want to reverse its phase (by any of the means discussed already in this thread), because in essence reversing the mounting position of the speaker means the cone is now starting its initial motion in the opposite direction than it use to. This is most important to understand if you use more than one sub, but only invert one of them. As others have said already, you often want to have the subs out of phase with the rest of the speakers for blending purposes (poor man's time alignment), so unless you are only inverting some of your subs, or already have them blended properly but then want to invert them all, the sub's absolute phase (how its wired, backwards or not) is less important than what your ears say sounds best. Hope that helped. [/QUOTE]
