If this is impractical, you can flip them every few months. I have done this in the past... I use the changing seasons as a guide, June 21, September 23, etc...
In general I try to keep the woofers in their original boxes until I use them. I then can keep them on edge... if you are going to store them for a number of years, you should rotate them, even if they are on edge... same for your mounted woofers if they are heavy coned low Fs designs.
