    Posted: 15 August 2019 at 11:59pm
Hi, i've got Fane sov 12-300 on upper bass/lower mid duty. Per stack: 2 boxes with 1 12" each sit on 2 HD15s and play 180ish to 600ish. Above them is a BMS 4590 in a horn. 

My question is, if there was a perfect cabinet to play this range 180-500/600 what would it be?

Many thanks

Small sealed. 

Or straight horn for better directivity control. However sov 12-300 may not be optimal driver for horn loading..

Something like the Fane 2 x 12" sealed box?

From 180 Hz and up, there nothing to gained with BR.
Small sealed could work, but I cant see it having enough SPL to match 2 HD15's and a 4590 op top.
Straight horn would be a better level match.
You probably can get away without phaseplug if not higher than 5-600 Hz.

people used to always suggest altec 815 when this was asked. i've never heard them though. but it's a 15" cab. there was a similar plan for a 12" in the eminence book though.

Something a bit horny then. 

How much difference would there be between a curved horn and a straight horn?

Cheers!
