Rony,

I am not exactly understand what you are trying to do and what kind of cabinet are you trying to attach in the back of that horn. Perhaps I misread you. There are two types of Altecs 515: the G-like and B-like – they are very different type of drivers. There are other letter, A, C, E but they all still comply with the two types above, whish one you use? Generally pushing the Altecs 515 all the way up 800Hz is too ambitions, I feel they begin loosing at much lower frequency, but it would be all depends what is your next channel and what it will be able to do at the bottom…

One thing I would like to note. I do not think that it make send to ask about obvious or potential problems in your situation. I know a lot about upperbass sound and particularly horns and juts because I do know a lot I assures you that a sensible specific implementation at a give location might override the design problems and shortcomings – come it is almost bass! So, the most accurate question would be not what is wrong with your horn and what you feel is wrong with the sound is produces. Perhaps from there it would be more reasonable to recognize where you stay your expectation in upperbass and how the given implementation might or might not serve you.
