Side firing woofers

Depending on the romm, you can posistion the speakers to have the woofer firing in or out? I would assume that the bass drivers would be in phase with the mids to avoid cross over cancelation.

I own a pair of speakers where the bass cabinets are separate from the mid/high (2 sep. cabinets) I can have the side woofer firing inward or outward. The bass seems much more intense when they are firing; not facing each other.

The electrical phase of the woofer has nothing to do with its physical orientation. The net acoustic phase at the listening position is affected by the relative distance of the drivers from the listener at the crossover frequency. Unless the path length difference between woofer and midrange is greater that 1/4 wavelength at the crossover frequency, it's of negligible consequence to the acoustic phase. And if it is greater than 1/4 wavelength, then the designer has taken it into account when he designed the crossover.
