Sub placement, does it matter?

[QUOTE="MellowHype, post: 8257290, member: 640052"] Its actually my second, and the 1st one was pretty bad lol. but thanks anyway I know i really wished i spent more time on the flare, its just the only metal bowl i had would only flare it as far as that or the pipe would start collapsing in, needed a bowl with a smaller base. Would have been nice to flare more and screw it in flush. Ive just set my gains again, and the two 12's are now no louder than my single R. Yesterday when i hadent touched the gains from before i bumped at full volume and was quite impressed, i could feel it in my throat lol My leads for the meter i used before had broken so i found a pair at my work and tried them. The resistance from pos to neg wires on the meter was 1.5 ohm.. So i then tested the subs wires and it showed 2.5 ohm, so i guessed maybe they where abit out but just 1.5 ohm out? (my subs are or should be wired to 1 ohm) When i first played the test track the multimeter was showing 50volts! this was gains untouched from when i set it to 700 rms for my single 12. and i know for a fact that before with my brand new meter (although it was very cheap) was showing my target of 37 volts. I also played that sub at that voltage for over a year with absolutely no problems. I went ahead and used the meter to back down from 50v to new target of 31volts (1000 rms @ 1 ohm), and the result was two R's sounding identical spl wise to my single R So im hoping that the wires are just out as two subs, and a large improvement on box should definitely not be the same as my single R. EDIT: I had also used the leads in another meter i found at work and it showed the same 50volts, so i think it has to be the leads [/QUOTE]
