If using a 2x12 without it being mic'd, wouldn't it be better for the purpose of sound dispersion to use the cabinet horizontally, raised off the floor a bit? I never see this done, thought I would ask....

That's one of the reasons that line arrays (including the Wall of Sound) are arrayed the way they are. It reduces spill into the rafters.
