Has anyone tried to incorporate a L-pad in the crossover, in order to adjust the volume of the horn in comparison to the woofer?

The sensitivity matching is accomplished using R1/R2 proportion. I prefer fixed resistors to L-Pads for this application, for a variety of reasons. The following post (and links contained therein) discuss some of the reasons I do not recommend L-Pads for a speaker like this.
