Phasing isn't subwoofer dependent. Speakers can be out of phase with themselves due to reversed polarity somewhere in the wiring chain of my car from back of radio, to amp, to speaker. The specific link talks specifically about multiple woofers being out of phase due to inverted vs non-inverted, but the pictures show enough as well as the second line. 1 speaker reversed can cause canceled out bass. This is proven by the fact that my new sub/box pushed a ton more but the amp still needs to be reversed phase due to something in the chain being out of phase. More than likely the rear speakers as they're the woofer part of the rear component system and utilizing the stock amp. This is why I said it won't be an issue when I get a 4 channel amp as I'll be wiring everything manually and I know it'll be wired correctly. In fact I'm eyeballing a JBL 5 channel amp now so the sub is also on the same amp. 65W per channel plus 500W RMS to the sub seems reasonable enough to me and I won't need to push it as there won't be any phasing issues.
