The null is beside the cabinet, midway between the front opening and the back. At sub-bass frequencies it doesn’t matter that much whether the driver cone moves toward you or toward the ceiling/floor. The sound output is shaped by the sides of the cabinet, i.e. the light colored wood panels in these images.
In the middle image, you see the shadow cast from the left speaker onto the left side of the tower sub? That’s where the null is. I’ve tried listening to the null by putting my head right there, and it does sound muted.
If I hold my forehead right at the middle of the light colored sidewall, the sound changes when I rotate my head so my ears change from on-axis with the null (muted) and perpendicular to the null (not muted). Even at the null there’s sound that arrives from room reflections.
