I am glad that somebody got in the end HOW to evaluate an acoustic system. If your upperbass is properly setup and do it’s best (a VERY big if, BTW) and of removing of it improves sound then there is no further question shall be asked about the benefits of the given channel.
If you have the 40"x35" spot below mid horns then you know your horn rate. No you need to figure out what length of the horn you will be able to time-align and integrate in your setup and length will give to you the size of your throat. From there you might start to pick a driver. Before you let yourself to be involved into this “interesting project” spend some effort to design the entire look and feel of your entire speller, not only upperbass horn. Your upperbass horn need to be a part of the all system, so think about the frame, about the connection between upperbass and MF, about the location of other channels, about the location in the room. To make a proper upperbass is not hard to make upperbass organically natural to the rest of acoustic system is much more noble task in my estimation.
