how do those subs work, when the front is screwed into the box and all you can see is the magnet. im toking bout those subs that look like they could be bombs.

Not following your question. If you mean when you can see the magnet and not the front of the sub, then its just reverse mounted. Doesnt improve performance or anything, just an aesthetic thing
the bass is soaked up by the box and pushed out the hole. The box is tuned at just the right size for the sub.
if thats what your talking about?
You must have seen inverted subs. It is mainly done for show cars that want a flashy installation (it can get extra points for display :)). They basically reverse the wiring so that the subs are not out of phase. Because it is facing inside the box with the magnet in the air you need to reverse the wiring so that it is still in phase otherwise the sub will not operate properly.
You also get isobaric type installation but those are when the subs are bolted into each other (i.e. the cones are facing each other). :D
I hope i haven't confused you even more.
Vti-2 is right about the isobaric type. However, Any subs can be used in competition,..even boss.. even $20 subs.. its just a competition hwoever, doesnt necesarily mean they will win.
My pheonix gold subs dont say competition anywhere, yet they kill kicker competition subs.
With inverted setups, it doesnt make a difference, as the sub works the same. However if your subs structure takes up a lot of volume, u would get like 1-2 litres more (sub box volume) if u want to invert it
hehe
here 2 pics of this inverted sub setup

OMG...i've gone blind!! :)
Bling bling muther****er
Man, I make do with my 400w 10in sub - does plenty of damage in my lude
I shouldn't say it but my battery alone is worth more than that entire boot set-up. :)
it had to be said really :D
Nothing like chrome for the BLING factor, but thats it for that set up!
As said any sub can be used in as for a comp but....
You find that pure SPL comp orientated subs will have an excursion rate somewhere in the vacinity of +/-25mm this is so it pushes more air hence increasing SPL in the cabin. They can dissipate heat better and have much higher power handling capacity: dual voice coils. To make it look real hardcore they will have a very solid Cast frame too boot.
If you arent after SPL or Bling dont waste the cash cause you will need fairly some fairly decent WRMS too keep them happy.
dual voice coils doesnt mean higher power handling, it means more flexibility in the voice coil configuration and means you can hook up 2 amps to the sub without having to strap them.
This is also the reason behind the quad coil configurations you'll see in a lot of classes which allow only 1 or 2 subs
