Romy,

     I like your idea. However, I would caution you on having the outlet of the one side firing backwards. One of the things that is not talked about with tapped horns is they are more directional than a normal subwoofer. They do not excite the entire room with omnidirectional sound. If you had one firing forward and one backward it would probably screw up the sound. A slight variation that would be better is to have both tapped horns exit on their side so you can aim them both in one direction.

     Your double tapped horn idea will work if both woofers are the same and they are wired in parallel. It is interesting because instead of each woofer using its own front and back side, it uses the other woofer's front or back side to complete the phasing that makes the tapped horn work. Very good thinking.
