Question Sub invert?

Are subwoofers made so they can be inverted? Would it damage the sub in ANY way?

You covered this already. It is a cosmetic choice. Theoretically you are trading the chance of potential damage to the cone and dusctap with potential damage to the basket, motor, and wiring. Even tradeoff IMO.

I really think it could help with cooling the motor/coil(s).
