My question is basically my title... I was wondering if there will be a difference in sound if i run on inverted sub (Upside down so that the basket is up) and 1 normally mounted sub (sub with basket inside enclosure)??? Thanks!

Im not exactly sure what your trying to describe.
Are any of these pics what you are talking about?

If so, one sub has to be 180deg. out of phase with the opposite.
Thats 3 different ways of doing a isobaric enclosure.
Still to this day I havent found out why people do this unless its purely for show/looks. Bass is simply compressing air with a cone at a certain frequency. If you put them together then they are moving the same exact amount of air so there is no gain but it looks cool I guess
It sounds like your trying to describe the back to back isobaric enclosure. If thats the case then put a baffle between the two subs, put them in phase and in the right air space.

The same still applies. You need the cones moving the same direction. The sub inside of the box would be hooked up normally and the sound mounted on the outside of the box would be hooked up 180* out of phase.
I think it would be more of a hassle than its worth
Being that the only thing it is worth is a ridiculous looking setup.
