Generally, I do not think it is possible to put 60Hz horn under MF channel. You have a limited highs of MF and you need to put 60Hz under it. You have no room for circular horn and you have to go rectangular, mach wider then you want it to be. Then the length hit you. Chose your profile and calculate in your hornresp the length of the horn- it will be too long to be able to time align with MF. Sure you can male the 60Hz horn with very large throat and put the MF all the way back but it will be not truly a horn but a direct radiator. There are many other reasons why I would not put any 60Hz along with the rest horns. Anyhow, if you need 60-300 horn then try to do it as a separate device, not integrated with your horns but integrated with your room, also do not think what kind crossover it will/should have - you are too far from this thinking. Again, generally I do not like idea of integrated 60-300 horns and I consider them a design mistake. It does not mean that you shall not build it , however. Perhaps if you describe the rest of your system/objectives then I will see where the proposed horn might fit.
