With these type of speakers the bass woofer is an integral part of the system, the frequency cutoff of the full range drivers will probably cut off quite high due to the relatively small size of the bass woofer. This all means that you will need the bass woofer firing forward otherwise you will lose integration across the frequency range. if you really need that booming sound you seem so keen on, ( many are not), you can have the port firing downwards. depending on what the cabinet will be finally resting on will have an affect on the sound Quality.
