4" throat into 1x1m mouth…hmmm, you hardly will be able to get from it 50Hz. Even if you go for ¼ size  and 2 drivers then I think it is a bit too small. Also, looking at the picture it looks like your horn open up too soon. For exponential profile you would have a looooooong neck with very slow opening right after throat. I do not see it. 

This profile is close to Tractrix. Do you suggest other profile ?
  I have no idea what you are taking and why you run your Goto to 500Hz. You had at the bottom of your horns an upperbass horn why don’t you use it?

I run to 500Hz, because I don't have any horn/driver to cover lower range. I have 2 options for below 500Hz:
1. I have long 100Hz GOTO's horn for 1" throat and I've ordered WE555 clone to try in it.
2. I'm waiting for 200Hz LeCleach to see if JBL drivers are capable below 500Hz in it.
What will be your suggestion for upper bass channel using compression driver ?
Well, I prefer you your to answer this question. You have horns, try them and make up your mind.
 

Ok, I'll listen by myself. In any way, I have no simple way to time-align with mid-bass horn...even no any idea with reconstructing house. My listening room is on 2nd floor of 3 floors house. Room on 3rd floor on top of my listening room is also in use...so, unfortunately, I'll keep mid-bass unaligned until I build dedicated listening house.
