Bass is omni directional meaning it goes everywhere and it doesn't matter the direction of the source. The only thing that matters is that the listener position is not a null with respect to the sub's location in the room.

My 10 inch down firing Hsu sub had more definition than my Velodyne down firing 15 inch sub. They were both installed at the same position, and the floor is carpeted wood on our second floor. All I could think of was the much higher pressure of the Velodyne on the wood floor might have excited the floor to oppose the Velodyne speaker vibrations.
I wish I had tried the Velodyne sitting on its side making it a front firing sub. It would look like a bear sitting on my living room floor, but I wouldn't mind if the sound was clearer and just as deep.
though that's true for frequency response, in my experience front firing subs are more impactful because they're moving air with more 'directivity' and pressurize a room with sound more effectively via less 'floor bounce'
this works better for movies yet doesn't detract from music ... also IME
of course the room layout and treatments, if any, will have a 'say' in this
