Just another of those idle thoughts I get sometimes.
But if the floor space isn't available and the boxes are not too heavy would mounting HT subs up at the wall-ceiling boundary be any different?
Something to ponder perhaps if mounting in the roof cavity isn't an option and WAF was high

Yes, the lack of diffractive objects and sound-absorbing materials make ceiling reflections a very real issue.
Use this calculator as a bit of a guide, to see what happens when you move the subs around.

Unless a ceiling is concrete, there is non-negligible absorption at lower frequencies. Most of the walls and ceiling typically made of drywall panels these days - which is why "cabin pressure" bass boost happens only in tightly sealed vehicles.
