Subwoofer Display Options

[OoMesKoO 10+ year member]

Sup guys. I have a set of 3 12" speakers. Although... the cones are totally pretty. Scratched up, nothing i really want to display. Now, i want to try to get the best sound possible, but NOT display the cones of the speakers themselves. Any Ideas? Im open to anything!

Thanks!

invert them. magnets sticking out. and invert the polarity of the speaker wires.

that will still sound just as good? I was under the impression i guess it kind of "blocks" the cone space and cancels out itself.

no. switching the polarity changes the direction the cone moves. thus no cancellation. it'll sound just as good.

if you don't switch the polarities, the first time you turn it on, it'll literally blow the box apart from the pressure of the cones.

make sure your subs are made to seal while inverted, or find out if you need a gasket.

i didn't see what subs you have, just a quick suggestion

you only change polarities if you have one sub mounted regular and one sub mounted inveted.
