I guess your definition of “doing something different” would imply reading of 534 pages of BS from people who have no idea about Sound about advantages of LA-horn over tractrix…

I thought that the general rule of thumb is to try and use a ratio of approximately 65% which makes the throat of 4" the one to go for.

I do not know if I agree with it. The only rule of thumb I know is that absolutely imposable with 100% certainty to predict how a non-compression driver will sound when it loaded into a “random” horn.  The people states opposite are clueless.

Now you are talking! If this exercise only managed to get you to think and talk more about the critical upper bass channel horn and drivers, then that in itself and nothing more would, in my books, have served a sufficiently laudable end.

In my view there is no “truth” but there are multiple considerations of multiple “contingent upon”. My current thinking about upperbass horn would include the use of dedicated Midbass, Fundamental channels as well as the specifics of my room. What is important to understand are the experiments with “critical upper bass channel” people do what they in the state like you: trying to build upperbass or in a progress of building upperbass. As the “base” upperbass is built and the frame is constructed around it then no one wants to fuck with it anymore. I for instance have no intention to play with it anymore. Even if Goto rep will call me tomorrow and offer to lend me for a month 4” Goto metal-diaphragm drivers to see if upperbass might be made better then I would very hard to think if I want to do it. Sure, I have interest but I also mitigate my interest with my intention to invest into my interest. So, I fell I personally would be much more benefited if I see 25 people frustrated with a shortage drivers for upperbass horns and to try different other solutions then 25 people to mimic what I have already know and do not care.
