If you havent already, why not explore the Infinite baffle concept? Or a long terminated back chamber for that matter.

Current drive should also be very good on the lower registers.

I did it. Any situation where sealing of back chamber does not increase resonance frequency is effectively an infinite baffle configuration. Still, my primary objective at this point is not the different back loading but trying to lose the compression driver configuration.

I would like to find as 4” -5” cone driver with resonance frequency of 70-90Hz, with HARD suspension and to load if directly into the throat of my horn. It is very difficult to found such a driver as no one would use it in typical applications. I would be l flexible even with cone material and with any other characteristics. That type of driver in my current back chamber (80% smaller then it is) will be in fact infinite baffle for any 4-incher. I can always then narrow down the chamber to tune is as I wish… I look though the various drivers and so far I do not see anything that I would found interesting...

The IB approach is also the lack of the rear wave hitting the driver again repeatedly. An oversised sealed box is not the same.
