[non] rabbit speaker wiring

[fahrvegnugen at cox.net (David Utley)]

Yeah, suprising ain't it?

John and I took it off list...  I have played with this both at home, and in
my car, and I have good to excellent in equipment in both.  In each case I
have tried it, I have had better luck putting them in 'alternative phase' as
the website John sent me to.  Basically, only one speaker is reversed...  I
don't understand why it works better that way for me, I have been very
deliberate (just as your response was :-P -).  I will continue to look at it
further and try to figure out why I am the only one...

Thanks for yout comments...  not

Cheers,
  David

Geez, it's a wonder sound engineers the world over haven't already picked up
on that secret... my conventional teaching would lead me to believe that the
speakers would cancel at low frequencies as they would be in antiphase.

Unless just maybe one of the speakers was already accidentally wired in
backwards which case it would correct the problem and allow the speakers to
work as the manufacturer intended.
