okay, thanks Justin.

Because when your subwoofer hits, it pushes out to move air. When youhave it inverted, it will be pushing INTO the enclosure, instead of away from it like it should be. So you reverse polarity so that it still pushes away from the box when it should.

I thought you only had to do that if you had 2 subs, 1 inverted, 1 not.
Same here, but Joe was sayin that I gotta do that.

what will happen if I don't do that?? Why wouldn't it sound the same?

Yes, when you invert a sub you change the polarity around. Hook up the positive wire to the negative terminal.

Well was wondering if I will have to change the polarity on my sub when I reverse mount it. I was talking with Bill, and he said that Joe(Eaudio owner) said that I will have to change the polarity when I install it because of the stress on the sub. But I thought you only do that when you are using an IB application.
