Using the above calculator, for an mid driver 84cm off the floor, we get 334Hz.
Using the above calculator, for an bass driver 60cm off the floor, we get 460Hz.
(ear height 100cm, distance to driver 300cm)
So, the mid to bass crossover point should be in the range of 334Hz to 460Hz, or is there more to it than that?

The comb filtering starts around this frequency and extends upward. You'd have to arrange directivity for the mid, although there are various ways to approach it.
The typical " bass dip" created by floor bounce is if the woofer is too high from the floor.
You want the woofer or woofers as low to the ground as possibly
Far as center to center spacing of mid to woofer, is not very tough.
As close as physically possible, as with all drivers.
They actual crossover frequency will be more justified by the woofer size and baffle step.
Horizontal response typically easy, most of it justified by vertical.
Drivers are mounted vertical and is where most your phase cancellation will be.
Basically mount them as close as possible, and crossover is more determined by physical size.

Agee, woofers stay close to the ground. And your "listening position" is more ideally restricted
to a seated position as far as how high it can go for the mid/tweeter.
Assuming the tweeter is the typical listening position and that would be ear height seated.
Otherwise sound doesn't care if your upside down or not.
Ground/ ceiling same thing. You just stay close to the one of the larger planes. Typically the floor.
