Ok, I'm one of those who doesn't understand this. I understand the physical/mechanical issue. However, to clarify, you are stating to switch polarity on the driver-side door woofer? What should we listen for when this happens? Sorry if this is a super easy question, but I'm not following. Thanks. j
