Once again, let make it the last post off the subject of the 5-chals Milq.
I think it make sence to start from 370Hz-400Hz horns for S2, targeting it for 1000Hz. Then the lower bass horn, for instance the 45Hz, however it should have a chamber of mach larger size, embeblming to tunes the driver for 80-90Hz. I know it sounds ridicules to make a huge horn and waste it for a high crossover point. Still you might find it very beneficial for Sound. People usually do not do it (and I understand why) but you might experiment with it and you might discover then with "enough" space under crossover point the upper bass "might" sound very “opened”. You might go then to a lover crossover point by juts masking out the back chamber. It is hard to predict how high the 45Hz horn will be working. It defiantly will not reach the S2 channels and you will need ONE proxy channel. Would it be Fane in own horn or a compression driver it all depends or many factors but I would most defiantly try to take advantage of a copmression drivers. S2 would be wonderful for this task but you can not run it lower then 450-470Hz. It would be VERY interesting to try it in sub-near0200Hz horn crossed at 470Hz with second order. I will be like nothing else!!! Make sure that you have the diaphragm very precisely aligned.
