There is a pair of Goto SG146 drivers at Japanese Yahoo:

….use a translation language of your chose to translate it to the language of your choose. They are Goto bass drives with 4” exit and they along with YL 1250 occasionally pop up on used market for $7-$8K. I am sure that now a Goto rep would jump in and begin to claim that they are old driver and in order to get the “fool magic of Goto” one need to by the cotemporary SG146 production. Idiosyncratically he will not be able to tell what is the difference between older production of SG146 and newer SG146 SG146LD. The reality I am pretty sure is that there is no such a thing as new and old production of Goto driver and there is no version or quietly control for those drivers. It is a small basement-based operation where “versions” come from what parts the suppliers send to them this time. They sell perhaps less than 10 drivers per year and they do not know how to listen then – so any conversations about Goto versions are pure fantasy.

Anyhow, here they are an opportunity for someone to experiment with Gotos for midbass horn. The 4” exit would make fine 50-80Hz horn, if someone has room to right align it (and it will be long horn) then it might be worth to play with it. I will not do it myself but if someone gets them then I do not mind to help to adopt them, if the person would share his observations about results.
