audiobahn pounds either way bro but maybe if you invert it would be louder cuz then the bass would bounce off the chrome magnet which would work even better and louder if you put some chrome wheel turtle wax on it

braaaaaaap

Yuli, I heard you were funny. That is the best response anyone could ever get. Yes that chrome is something else, but if I shine it isn't it blinding? Wont I have problems seeing my score?

might actually help your score if they are extra shiny cuz i heard from a friend's neighbour's cuzin's baby sitter's brother who has like a 220 dbdzzz jl set up in his camaro that does like quarter mile in 7 seconds too that the spl sensor actually spikes and makes the score higher if you have like a chrome type reflection on the windshiled cuz then light interferes with sound waves and makes them more dense into the sensor so like dont study your score cuz all you would need to be looking at is the faces of your competition who are going to be like damn that pounds and you'd be going like braaaap braaaaaap

lmfao... priceless.... actually it allows you to use a smaller enclosure because the basket/magnet are not in the way... or get more internal volume from an existing enclosure. Thats about it. It will also effect your tuning slightly.

I know, I'm no fun. lol. I couldn't have come up with half the crap Yuli did, funny guy. lol

With the setup you have the change would be minimal if any at all. It will increase box volume just a tad which would drop tuning... but the motor is so small on those subs that the change wouldnt be even close to audible
