Normally oriented 2 way speakers often have better response below the tweeter axis than above it. They measure better at the midwoofer axis than above.
This has to do with low order-ish crossovers and phase mismatching above the tweeter.
Any number of Stereophile measurements will show this.
With 4th order filters this matters less .
Wisurround speakers I would move the tweets to rear and point the woofers to your seat
