I misspoke. I should have said "so inside the speakers the subs go".
Good catch!

I wanted the subs to be on the outside of the speakers but didn't want the speakers that close together.  So, outside the speakers the subs go.

@flrun Huge improvement. B&W suggests toe-in, but I felt they were too bright positioned that way. No toe-in takes care of that, to my ears.
