Best way is to use the reverse switch on the amp.  If no switch exists on your amp, exchange wire polarity at either the amp output or the sub itself.  Leave it at the position where bass is loudest and deepest.

The installation method you are describing is known as inverted.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

you can just flip the wires at the amp, but if you only have one sub then it really shouldn't make that much of a difference.

Sorry, you can NOT post a reply.
