Anyone tried this??
As the Linkwitz Transform Circuit is used to extend the bass responce of a sealed enclosure, and that is what some horn loaded base drivers are..... Hmmm...

I have not tried it.
Horns are designed to give you acoustical gain at
target frequencies, the design/shape of the horn
dictates this. You may also reproduce other frequencies
from the horn with no acoustical gain.
So if he bass horn is designed to give you gain
at >40hz, reproducing lets say 20hz is possible
with no gain, ie, the bass horn functions as a horn
at >40hz but doesn't function as a horn at 20hz,
but you may get 20hz out of the horn.
Visualize this. The LT circuit on a hand held bull horn,
will LT give you 50hz operation ? hehe

Using active EQ on a horn with a sealed rear chamber (IE, not horn loaded on both sides of the driver), can most certainly be done. However, I'm not sure if the bottom end rolloff of a horn fits the -12dB/octave trend like a sealed box does - if not, then you'd be better off with a parametric EQ in the low end as opposed to an LT, which is made for a specific case - a normal sealed-box woofer.
