Default 2 inch, 500 Hz rectangular horns?

Are there any outstanding, off-the-shelf, baffle mount, 2 inch, 500 Hz rectangular horns out there?

500Hz as the horn cutoff frequency, or as your actual crossover frequency?
And what dispersion pattern do you look for?

It is going to be big! (and even bigger in 60° version, if you want horizontal directivity control down to 500Hz)

JBL current offering is meant for 1.5" drivers.
If you are not afraid but the size (and depth!) the 2360/2365 (especially the B versions) are good candidates.

If constant directivity is not mandatory the TH4001 could also be a candidate.

I recommend you Selenium HM4750-SLF horn and D405 driver crossed at 500Hz and 5kHz, very satisfied with them.

If you relax your mounting requirements and build it yourself, you will get superior results for the money and time spent. See what is possible at the following website [1]
