I don't know...

 

it will work fine , just ,make sure the sub (more so the surround) will not rub the sides of the box when it is moving .

 

you mean inverted? that would work fine. it's done all the time.

 

you gain the box volume that the sub no longer takes up

 

The sub will basically operate the same other than the change in enclosure volume, which make no mistake, still isnt alot. The only other consideration is motor noise, as the speaker's motor structure will now be exposed rather than sealed inside the enclosure. 'Motor noise' is possible to hear in some situations, especially when the sub is mounted very close to the listener, like inverting a sub in a regular cab between the bucket seats. Motor noise would likely be audible in that situation, but in a trunk or further away from the listener its much less likely.

 

sounds like shit and looks stupid

Looks are subjective. The sound, other than the fairly rare instance of motor noise, is exactly the same.

 

the other thing to remember is that the sub will now be 180 degrees out of phase. to fix it reverse + and - on the sub or amp, but NOT both.

you're a joke.


it will sound the exact same. although audioholic makes a good point on motor noise, i know that in installs i've done inverted, the music is never low enough to hear any noticeable motor noise. sounds the exact same. plus i think it looks really good. why not show off that sexy xlb^2 motor

well these are the subs I wanna get, I just think it's a shame to hide all that chrome..Plus I wanna make some partitions in my sub box and put my 6 by 9's into the sides.

Is there any way we can talk you out of....well.... all of that? Bahns for the chrome factor? 6x9's in your sub enclosure? Duuuuuuuuuude!

not just 6x9's, but 6x9's in the sides of the box! you must be loco homes. best thing i can say is try it out and see how you like it. i would never do it myself, have seen and heard it doesn't sound good in my opinion. but the best way to learn is trial and error.

 

Well, let me elaborate. I will be making PARTITIONS for the 6 by 9's, so they will be like a box inside of a box. Duh, they would blow otherwise! I am already running 6 by 9's and I like them. Also, whats wrong with the Audiobahns? I'm running Kenwood Excelons now, and these will be much higher RMS. Any help?

I Think What They are Referring To Is The Poor SoundStage that 6x9's behind And Aimed To the Side Would Create. 6x9's are Crappy Speakers to Begin with And Your Sound Stage will be Much Worse if They Are Behind You and Even Worse if They Are Directed to the Sides.

Audiobahn Usually has Overrated RMS Wattage and Poor Sq. Never Met an Audiobahn i liked Although I don't Mind Their Amps As Much.

Is this phase thing true? becuase if it is i have a phase knob on my hifonics amp and if i jsut swith it will that be alright?

everything said here is valid except that 6x9's are crappy, you can gen a nice set of 3 ways for the rear of a blazer and sound nice. I had polks that sounded flawless...

yeah,lucky to have one of those, most amps dont and you have to do it manually

seriously, dont get a flame Q, you can do better than that (alpine type r)

6x9's are crappy speakers. they distort and become damaged easily and have poor bass reproduction.

 

6x9's shape comes from trying to fit them into the irregular spaces on a car. The ovel shape makes it easier to make a place inside a car's interior than would a round speaker with as much cone area. Think about it, most were meant for rear deacks, decks that are narrow but long. But, round cones are designed/used strictly for their strength. An oval cone will lose its shape and distort considerably sooner than a similar round coned speaker.

yup. i got a type-r. it'll look good mounted backwars with the tribal aluminum style look

yeah...come to jersey and sit in my buddys jeep...he has 2200 watts going to four inverted kicker 12" L7's...when your ears stop bleeding you can tell me that again...

oh and it looks crazy...
