no I won't produce a different type o bass...u will benefit from a tad bit more internal volume...will sound the same

depends...if your box is too small for the sub, then inverting it can give the sub a little more room to breath, so to say.

The sound shouldnt change, but sometimes it looks cool.

It'll raise your internal volume. I've heard of people hearing mechanical noise when they invert woofers.

No

Won't be noticeably different most likely unless the box is really small and you gain a lot of volume from saving displacement inside. Considering some people gain or lose slightly on a meter from taping around subs, flush mounting, or even changing polarity there may well be a measureable difference, but likely not audible. Could be gain or loss on a meter.

when you invert your sub you should also swap the + and -. ymmv though

Inverting the sub increases enclosure air volume and in relation to the port area and length staying the same, the tune frequency will be lower, but a very small amount, maybe 1-2hz lower.
