Depending on context, that may be the way to go (pointing the sub down) or not; if you're doing any kind of sound reinforcement, it's probably ill advised as you'll be feeding any drum mics your subwoofer, as well as causing problems for any bass player (assuming you have one) or any other mic'd instruments. If you're on a raised stage, again, it's ill advised for the very same reasons and more: you'll be causing all kinds of rumble as the stage becomes a bass trap.

But then again, I'm assuming what's why Speakeasy has giving a phase control (?) on their sub.

Uhhh ... yes you are correct .. bass frequencies are non-directional ... but
the phase of the sub is very important ... dependant on the frequency that

theaters ... I'm very picky about frequencies and the emphasis on each.. the
primary bass frequency in music (b3 pedals) is 100-200hz (guesstimate) ....
being that low it is very dependant on the room and the way the sub is
arranged.

Bass frequencies are non-directional...no need to point the sub down.

type of system is this: The
rotary componants, be it a 145, 2101, 122 etc... have the sound going
in a 360* environment, whereas the sub is directed in one direction.
Granted the large wavelengths of frequencies below 150hz are large and
easily carried out (in more a single direction), I think there may be
an unbalance of the sound in relation to the rotary components of the
leslie. I'm not sure how the Submon's continual-phase processor
works; but it would seem more efficient to have the sub face down, so
the tone can spread evenly like the rotor drum and horn do and have a
tight crossover on the preamp and then split to sub and leslie...
Other than that, a dedicated sub for any leslie is a fantastic idea
for pedal players, even though it is another piece of gear to lug
around, the increased headroom for everything that is not bass will be
louder in the leslie and the guitar players can't dominate the scene
