Yes and no.
A polarity switch will switch the wires (so to say), thus giving all frequencies a 180 degrees turn.
A variable phase knob can never do that, because all wavelength are different. At a certain position, the phase shift can only be 180 degrees (or a multiple thereof) for 1 frequency (and its harmonics).
And I will not add to the confusion above by going into the effects again (Philip and Kevin were right).
Marty, assuming you have only 1 subwoofer, please tell us how you determine that effect (do you hear it when sitting right in front of the sub when adjusting, or was it measured somewhere in your room - and how?).
