reverse mount is basically just for apperence but it will sound better if the magnet is mounted inside the box

Re: to be on top or not to be......
It really shouldn't make a difference. The way I understand it, mounting the magnet outside the enclosure allows for a slightly smaller box because the speaker doesn't take up any of the air space. Most boxes are built to compensate for driver (speaker) displacement with the magnet inside. If you decide to go with the external magnet, the speaker leads should be reversed - pos to neg, and neg to pos.
