A pole is 6dB/oct and has 90* phase shift.12dB has 180* and when in phase cancels at the crossover point leaving a hole.If you hook one of the drivers out of phase the hole goes away but it doesn't sound right.18dB either leads by 90* or lags by 270* at the crossover point.While flat connected either way it doesn't sound right.24dB has 360* and is flat and sounds right.It is possible to correct for the phase funnies in 12 and 18dB crossovers by using a filler driver.A 12dB with filler is the best I have heard.See the patent for details.

Here is the video I made years ago comparing Phase Versus dB Slope.

So DJK, 48 db/oct would also be 360 deg, correct?

In the electronic domain, yes.
