good question
ive been recommended that tractix horn are a good match with PR170MO. K-horn bass bin xo around 300hz...

Ok. I can't imagine they wouldn't specify the cutoff frequency at the same time, unless they just got lucky... (Because sometimes a tractrix may be used to transition from wide to narrow and you want to choose where.)

I designed and built bifurcated tractrix horns for a pr of PR170 for the lower midrange (350-1.2KHz). They served the purpose. I don’t think i’d recommend them without a thorough rethink. I might be able to scare up the original calculations and drawings.

Hi, I'm using the driver between 250 - 1200 Hz as part of a 4 way horn. Some info here Post in thread 'System Pictures & Description' https://www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/system-pictures-description.23208/post-6517066

How are you thinking of using them?
