Subwoofers down-firing or side-firing? Why?

Just added down-firing subs (Omega 10", sealed) to my Omega single driver speakers. I could ask Louis, but why do you think he designed them to be down-firing?  My prior REL and Rhythmiks were side-firing (used with very different systems).

Yes, loving my deephemp 10 so far. Maybe it's downfiring to get the most bass out of the smallest cabinet, according to RELs logic.

There are so many variables involved, seems like whether driver faces down or sideways is not the major factor...

According to Louis at Omega, he uses down-firing subs for ease of placement.
