does it make a difference which way a sub cone is facing in its box?

i.e would it sound better if the sub cone was facing into the box rather than outwards as usual.

i looked at the back of my sub (magnet part) today to look at the power rating of it, an its got a really nice chrome bottom (oh i <img border="0" alt="[cwlmao]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions042.gif" /> ) have got pic of how it looked both ways, any chance of getting some help putting it up please <img border="0" alt="[cwnuts]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions051.gif" />

cheers

ive pm'd you to help with your picture.

hope this helps.

:go:

its completely upto you, i have done boots both ways. again it all depends wot type of bass you like, deep bass --- keep it in your pants errr box
floppy bass --- face it into your box.

There are problems with each one individually, you will loose a lot of the vibe tight bass if you face it into the box,
not really a lot of probs the convential way if the box is the right size

so it'll sound **** if the sub is upside down in other words? <img border="0" alt="[cwnuts]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions051.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cwlmao]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions042.gif" />

i think it looks better the normal way myself, unless you've got an audiobahn sub <img border="0" alt="[cwcool]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions049.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cwsmokin]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions036.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cwhappy]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions038.gif" />

it depends on a few things, the power, the ability of the amp and the sub. Not nowing any of your system the best thing to do is to try it out, use the same sample track and close all the doors.
