You clearly havent got a clue or are rather miss informed. I ran 8185 loaded cubo's built by bee from 38-80hz and they destroyed many bigger boxes ive had. 1850 loaded cubo's would rock a mobile rig and they don't benifit from group coupling is a bonus too.

If you look at the diagram with the void v1000 which is almost identical to the pd 1850 ts. You will see that it starts to deliver its sound at 110hz and up. Which is not sub duty, its peak is at 125hz  an lower than 85hz there is no power in it really. at 45hz it is 4 db´s lower then 18lw1400. How is that better then everything else?

I dont know where that plot comes from maybe the Sun or the Mirror but in the real world if you run a cubo past 120hz it will honk and sound awfull.

sorry but this is rubbish, the cubo extended loaded with the 1850 or the 1852, drop to 35hz and are good up to 90ish past 100 and they get a bit honky. (driver magnet in horn)
 
(driver magnet in chamber)they play to 120hz but only drop to 40hz.... its a trade off....
 
ps.... the graph showing a driver only playing to 85hz was a v1000'sWink, and were from the 3rd prototype version, not the published version. The published version is even better.....

the v1000, and pd1850 ts parameters are not even close.....
this is a great example of why you should take specs with a pinch of salt, and actually test drivers and use your ears, and full rta them....

Surely, the Horn is the Horn and there is not much you can do to lower frequency, apart from make the Horn a lot larger (with the given speaker). It might be confusion over terminology, but you can only tune a reflex enclosure.

longer horn and horm mouth = lower response. but driver may not be able to take it.... would need to sim... then build and measure...
 
increasing horn length to 3 meters, the cab drops to 35hz, but the response is very peaky. To smooth out response more changes are needed.
