Romy,
Here's the link to the McCauley 6174 specs...

In considering your comments on the necessity of a 115 Hz Upper Bass horn : You make a good point...
Your quote : "...If you have straight 45Hz horn with AK151 then it might work well up to 350Hz-400Hz and then and then handles by your lower MF channel with 200Hz horn and S2 driver crossed at 450Hz…"
It would seem best to start by putting in place the Mid-Rang horns (both Upper and Fundamentals horns). This would be followed by construction of the 45 Hz Bass horns, followed by listening (and sampling) to determine if there is adequate coverage between the 45 Hz horn and the Fundamentals channel.
Regarding your recommendation to make the 45 Hz horns heavy... Each one will likely out-weigh my car... the difficult part is making them so that they can be moved through the front door if need be... for this, they will have to be made like the stages of a rocket motor...
Thanks, and... Salutations (as they say over here),
