Typicly they are installed magnet out for show purposes. I dont believe it has any impact on SQ or anything.

hell ya inverted will def effect sq. SPL or overall volume wont change much. inverted leaves more room in the box which will sometimes get you louder but sq is greatly effected because you hear alot more noise that you wouldnt hear if the sub was in the box normally

One thing to remember about audio in general: It's all personal preference. Cause what might sound awesome to me, might sound like crap to you.

It'll save you space if you have them in the box. But from the name of the box it sounds huge anyways. Post up pix when your done
