***Project Complete***

I finally installed my Re Audio XXX18 (inverted). Thanx again to Gee (CCA member) for such an awesome condition bad *** sub...CHEERS my friend.

One thing is that reversing the polarity (seeing the sub is inverted) sure makes the sub sound shitty and i cant turn the volume up 2/3's the normal. So i wired the sub to the normal + to + and - to - and it thumps great and i got full volume with awesome low's.

I dont know why i got such bad results from the polarity switch??? but i thought id share with you all my results and thank you all once again for all who helped with sugestions and who answered questions regarding my invert installation

***PICTURES WILL BE POSTED SOON***

Now that it works, try inverting the polarity again, but this time at the amp - just to see if it was maybe wired incorrectly the first time.

The suspension in biased to forward travel. Chinese trick to have higher one way Xmax number. take an 18V drill battery and pop the coil. see how far it travels in either direction...You'll be surprised
