Which speaker should be on top?

I have two speakers which require corner placement: Khorn and TacT W410 subwoofer. Seven foot false corners will be constructed so that the speakers will be 60 degrees apart from the sweet spot and positioned out in the room to get the best imaging. The mid and high horns will be at ear level. This means that the Khorn bass and the subwoofer boxes have to be on the top and bottom. The problem is which should be on the top and bottom? Aesthetically it doesn't matter because everything will be behind a decorative cover. Any suggestons?

Thanks Rives. What else do you need to know about the room?
In general the room dimension is 8/13/17 feet. The room has the ASC isowall acoustic system.

You're right about taking the false corner to the ceiling. In this way both the K-horn and the TacT sub will have three reflective sides. The K-horn will have the two false walls and the floor, while the sub will have the two false walls and the ceiling. The false walls will be made of two layers of 3/4 inch high density melomine particle board glued together to eliminate any resonance. Each side of the false walls will be 3 and a half feet long. With this arrangement I'll be feeling organ music, not hearing it. Thank goodness for the Isowall treatment. Rives, I guess I'll need your bass correction devise to make sure the bass remains flat.
