Push Pull Sub Configuration

Like tha title says...has anyone ever heard of the Push Pull Sub Configuration...? I read about it in this book and tried it for myself...it does seem louder but my only concern is that you have to reverse the polarity on one of the subs...

My question is will reversing the polarity on one of the subs hurt it...?

I have 2 Memphis subs..and i will be soon getting 2 Kicker CVRS which i will be wanting to do this to if it doesnt hurt them....thanks guys

I think this applies to setups with one sub inverted, or isobaric enclosures. If you were to do this in a sealed enclosure it would not work at all, especially in a comon chamber box.

It dosnt hurt the subs.However this sort of sub configuration usally results in a three decibel loss.  Check out this link on the pros and cons of differtn enclosure types

forbidden it exactly on the money this is how the config of the setup works. so the subs don't cancel eachother out. in the result of lose of bass.

we use to use push and pull for the style and space saving. it was something new and looked cool if done right but like posted previously there are disadvantages that out weighed the advantages like you lost effiecenty. proformance was more important than looks and saving space. and eventually the config lost its popularty.there are a few different ways to designs these boxes. if you like it i feel you should diffently explore all angles and do the research. you will only gain knlodge not lose it. you've already built one and sounded better so either you did something right,got lucky or had a horrible box design before. good luck

i cant knock it because we setup some sick designs that looked top notch for the time and when done right sound top too.
