Im running an audiobahn and it does look very good inverted. In verting the sub makes the volume of the box slightly bigger because there is no magnet structure etc in the box. more air for the sub to move.

Are you talking about making a box or if you invert a sub in comparison to the box it was originally in?

I do agree with you there, and i think you were saying that if you were making a box then you could make it smaller as there is no motor structure in the way.

The word everyone is looking for.... DISPLACEMENT!
No real difference with inverting subs, sometimes you get a tad of motor noise but as everyone has said HARDLY noticable. One word though, as ive found its VERY hard to get a good seal on inverted subs. The hole in the enclosure must be EXACTLY the same diameter as the internal diameter of the basket rim...
