im not really sure what you're asking.. [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

if you have a box, and invert mount the sub, it will have more airspace then if it was normally mounted..

but if your building a box, it wont have to be as big.. but it wont make a HUGE difference..

also dont forget to wire the sub with reverse polarity if you invert mount it! [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Yea well im thinking of building a box and invert mounting the sub (the magnet out). The manufacturer suggests 1 cub ft of sealed space. Should I stick with that or make the box smaller ?

You can make the box smaller, approximately by %20 if you stuff it with fiberglass or some other heat absobing material.

You dont have to switch the phase. Thats more so for 2 or more subs. BUT it can help.
Inverting the sub does mean you can make the box slightly smaller, but remember, you gotta make room for that big ass fram and magnet.
Also make sure the hole is round enough and smooth so the surround doesnt rub.
Pics of my invert @ my SD site :D
