You said are lucky to get hornloading down to 150Hz. Then I guess you suggest you will end up at maybe 175Hz. Hornloading a compression driver down to 175Hz is not too difficult and the horn will not be larger than the Avantgarde Trio midbass horn, a...

Murataltuev, I am not qualified to advise about the fine points of horns, per se, but I am guessing the big "slab" in the middle of each horns tower will create more problems than it solves, at least with respect to sound. Honestly, unless you are OK...
