I Agree with Hofulstrof . . .
In regard to cone area it doesn't make a difference. A sub needs BOTH the box and the external air.
I can use your exact reasoning to prove that inverting a sub is BETTER! The box is necessary for containing the air pressure created by the sub. The less the box leaks that pressure, the more that pressure will be transferred into sonic pressure. Therefore, if you invert the cone, you have more cone area to build up that necessary pressure with. Then, wouldn't you want more of that cone area working on the enclosed space?
Truth is internal and external area are equally important, and one way does not prove to be better than the other - provided that you know what you are doing with sub phase when inverting.
