What is the throat dimension of the Altec A7 horn? [message #16243]

Illuminati (2nd Degree)

I'm wondering how to interpret the concept of throat dimension with respect to designs like the Altec A7 (828 cabinet).

The baffle has an 8 X 13 inch opening in it. But on the front side of the baffle the horn opens up to approximately 8 X 17 inches. There's no transition.

Is there an inherent problem with this? Would it be better if the top and bottom surfaces were angled so that the horn section began with an 8 X 13 inch section?

Thanks
