A few questions re: downscaling classic horn cabinets for "fun"

my wood-chopping buddy is looking for something interesting and "new" to build. I looked at at 2/3 scale Klipsch Belle with vented back chamber as a noisemaker. 2pi sim looks decent - the port is carrying a loot of the low end as the horn rolls off below 200Hz.

(FWIW I have a 0.83x belle with 12pe32 and think it has a pretty clear sound)

The other classic cabinet would be a 10" version of Cerwin's AB36 - that has a decent 1/4 wave path length- but might choke and get rough above 500 ?

Would the 10" Belle sound decent? Would the CV scaled make it to 500 or better?
