Greets!I assume you're asking jnorv these Qs, so will only address the ones he didn't:
The horn-in-port increases internal reflections, increases port turbulence and just generally mucks with the cab's reflex portion of its performance. It really screws with off axis response and puts the woofer too low for optimum performance in the XO BW.
Flopped upside down, all the critical mids/HF BW is exiting/reflecting off floor/whatever at foot level, so will sound unnatural at best, though I've been in folk's homes that preferred them this way for what I assume was because they were driving them with horrible sounding early design SS amps and probably didn't attenuate the horn either. I didn't stick around long enough to check once they fired them up and weren't willing to experiment further, though I did manage to buy one disillusioned owner's pair dirt cheap.
BTW, adding a sub in the bottom doesn't affect the horn's size.
