I think it might be very interesting to introduce the high-pass filtration for tapped horn and to see how it behaves. It is not only about thermal overload and restriction of excursion. The unloading of none-used bass generally clean-up the transparency of band-bass very positively. The benefits might wary with the drivers and the way in which the driver is damped. You might want to try it, get a cheap digital crossover and try different slopes between 10Hz and 20Hz. You would not need to listen the absolute quality but rather the pattern in which Sound night be changing. If you found that let say at 14Hz you would like to roll of your tapped horn with second Bessel order then you would always be able to implement it in your tapped horn’s bass amp.

blah, blah, blah, all that stuff...
yes, yes, I was thinking along those lines last night after I posted it, and wondering if effects of hi pass, (not just steep acoustic roll off of driver), in the amp, relieving unwanted signal getting to the drivers might be a good thing.  Building band-pass filters, into the amp actually. 

I thought at least that channel was done.
Damn Cat!
Ok, digital experiments, then call Dave Slagle, get good iron & filter parts if it helps.
