purely asthetics

it also removes the need to calculate the sub displacement in the enclosure

it's called inverting. more or less to show off the magnets

doesn't it also give the subs a better flow of air through the coils (when you are cruising that is) then when it's trapped inside the box?

yes, there is a gain in thermal power handling when inverting the driver.. if the driver employs gap, basket, or pole cooling methods...

i know an installer who used to do that every now and then back in the day, he said he had this dude bring his car back once and was like "yo man you installed my beat backwards". a little funnier in person.

in some cases yes. one reason is to make things equal. the woofer isn't perfectly symmetric. it will not always have the same response moving inward as it would moving outward. one plan is to invert one woofer. that way one woofer moves inward while the other moves outwards (but is backwards). this means the system has a more symetric response -- it moves outward or inward equally well.

this removed some even-order distortion, but does not affect the odd-order distortion.
