So how would you stop the rear wave from being obstructed? perhaps eliminate the motor all together?

obviously yes but your rear wave (assuming conventionally mounted) is your more important wave. If there was no basket/motor obstructing this wave from reaching the port (imagine a crx box, subforward port back) then there would be a fairly large gain.

Some guys guys gain from switching from 6 spoke to 12 spoke baskets or vice versa because it doesnt obstruct the rear wave as much. Or from rounding any sharp corners on the basket itself. A more aerodynamic basket/motor structure would surely be a nice gain if the performance was still there.

I have often wondered this same thing, whether there was any advantage/disadvantage to running the sub inverted.
The only disadvantage i noticed personally was that i was a moron and ended up mounting the sub slightly off center (new box and nothing to mark the positioning of the sub over the cutout) and messed up the surround a bit.
This was years ago and have never tried it since.
Has anyone ever tried metering their setup inverted vs conventional?
