Please help with Klipschorn/Oris combo (BD-Design)

Hello, long-time lurker, 1st-time poster here.

I have a Oris 200 kit and want to use a Khorn bass bin with it. The Oris horns will be driven with tube amps (1-8 watts) and each bass bin with a 70-100 watt "chip" amp. The plan is to split the signal from the horn amp and send it through a low-pass filter to the bass amp.

The Khorn bass bin is normally crossed at 450Hz which I believe is just below its natural roll-off but it begins to add distortions in the mid to upper bass.

Can anyone suggest a good approach to combine these 2 horns? If I were to use an AER MD-2 driver or the like, where would the optimum cut-off be (generally speaking)? How might that change with a Fostex driver? Would it be of any benefit to use a 150 horn instead of the 200 and how would that change the cut-off?

I'm just getting started here so I'd appreciate any advise and suggestions offered.

Thanks! -Bryan
