Should You Invert Your Subwoofer? Is It Even Worth It?

- I invert my 18” Skar subwoofer to see if I get any benefits. Before I invert my sub I add more bracing inside my subwoofer box to really make it sturdy and not flex. Do you guys think inverting your subwoofer is worth it?
18" Subwoofer & Amp Specs:
Skar SDR 18 Dual 4 Ohm Wired In Parallel To 2 Ohms
5 Cubic Foot Box Tuned To 22hz
Powered By a Power Acoustik 900 Watt Amp, But It's Only Getting 650 @ 2 Ohms As I Plan To Wire @ 1 Ohm When I Get A Second 18.
Amp Powered By a 650 Watt EVGA PSU

Who does work like this with a hand screwdriver
Killing me with the screw driver man. Where’s your power tools?
You’re very smart I see…you need to invest in power tools to make things easy on yourself.
Start using weather stripping around your sub/seal, no leaks!
Good video.
🤯🤯🤯🤯wait... did dude really just do that without a power drill?....im dyiiiiing
I was watching some of your vids. And I noticed you have the skar sdr 15 and 18. Which one do you like better? And do they sound similar?
The SDR 18 and 15 both sound great and do sound a little bit similar in terms of sound quality. The SDR 15 does get pretty low, but the SDR 18 definitely plays the lows with more authority as my 18 goes down to 12hz. They both can get loud with not too much power but the 18 can get quite a bit louder than the 15. They both are great subs, but I would recommended spending the bit of extra money and get the 18 if you're able to fit it. The 18 has that bass I can really feel, but I can still feel the 15 but not as much as the 18 especially when they're playing low.
I killed the 18 sdr on a JP8 on in very little time. Skar allowed me to upgrade tot he evl 15 and it was a good choice. I would not recommend the SDR. Bass is like weed the more you hit it the more you want it.
Just released a new video comparing the two here: th-cam.com/video/Wz6GuRROiDk/w-d-xo.html
Inverting your sub is good in two situations. First, the motor structure has an inherent noise. Inverting one sub in a pair can cancel this sound and give you more pure sound. Ensure you phase match the woofers. Secondly, equalizing suspension movements. Remembering back to cerwin vega stroker, a tunable spider could be important if the sub is biased high or low in the xmas. Inverting one sub in a pair will help normalize the xmas bias in an identical pair, similar to point one.
Third you mentioned in the video; improved cooling
Fourth you also mentioned, box size could be designed with out the subs structure taking up space. For this though, you have to normalize the cone space that adds to the box due to the inversion of the sub since the cone volume doesn't start with a flat surface most of the time.
Fifth you also mentioned it looks killer to invert the sub sometimes.
Great content, keep up the videos.
the video was awesome but your video latency is kinda rough i can notice your lips and voice have a delay whenever you spoke in from of your camera
Thanks for pointing that out. My audio track got slightly moved and I only noticed once my video was finished and ready to upload, but will be synced correctly next video.
I've got 4 gothic 12s inverted in a 6 cube it hits much better inverted I picked up 6 db from inverting
Also I'm pushing em with a sundown 2k
I've heard about the gothic subwoofers being a good value for the money. I bet your quad sub setup hits hard.
keep up the good work because i love your content and im also a basshead i drive 2 pa 12 inch subs and they go deep
Did you invert also the speaker connection?
Yes I inverted the connection so it was playing with correct polarity.
Make your Box out of MDF sounds better
Both agree and disagree, MDF is a pretty "dead" board and without dampening it will hit hard and loud, so good for spl. A chipboard have less glue and you will have to make the sides thicker to hold its form, but instead its a softer board you will get a warmer sound, a bit softer sound and a bit better sound. So its really up to the lisener what sound you prefer ;) but if i would build it i would go for build quality and a bit more easy to build i would say MDF and ported i would dampen 2 sides for ex top and back to make the box a bit better soulding, and buy real dampening not that you used in this vid
Bro is using a hand saw and a screwdriver i don't think mdf is in the budget he made the tools work but still.
I bet if you got some ofc wire you would gain some clarity
Ofc has less resistance/impedance than other common types of wire. Ofc won't increase clarity. Wire diameter is important for power transfer, too thin will cause impedance which will cause wire heat instead of coil power. Wire size is much more important than the actual composition at these power levels. I've never heard clarity be used with a subwoofer; clarity is usually used with midrange and tweeter ranged frequencies.
Literally changes nothing but adding some volume to the enclosure
He explained that in the video as as well.
That is one janky box but I’m not hating. Use what you have at your expense and it being only a SDR as opposed to 60+ pound powerhouse. I had 2 SDR 15’s years ago and enjoyed them for what they were, but I am someone who is a whore when it comes to buying and selling subs, I have tried a bit of everything that is on the market.
What a waste of six minutes! It’s been proven over and over if you use junk, it’s gonna sound like junk
Sounds great to me.

Haters gonna hate...
I was watching some of your vids. And I noticed you know nothing about what you're talking about. retire from content creation and stick with things you know. thanks! also are you the bay harbor butcher.
It will never reach the output levels it's designed for with a box made from trailer park wall paneling, SMH!
Where's your subwoofer at?
@@WaveImages in the trunk of my car, single concept CSP 18D2. 4" coil 10" 3 layer spider pack. I'm not sure why but it's not giving me the option to post pic in comments
I'm running it with a true 2500watt RMS amp, big alt, 100amhr lithium cell, all 0 gadge ofc welding lead.
@@jasondeshazo7754...you must feel like a big man now that you've -made up- *shown off* how good your system is...
🙄
In your dreams...
Do you have Discord or something so I can add you on there and if you want to show me how to build a good box cuz if you look in my old videos I try to build a box for my subwoofer and it looks like a trash can
