I run 1823's with square DIY tractrix horns which are 14.5" long with 11" X 4 square mouths. Conical horns can sound good, but they tend to not load the driver in the lower end as well as typical curved wall horns, unless you use EQ and/or oversize the conicals to compensate. This having been said, I once tested one of my horns with a JBL 175 and it went down to 400 Hz, so if you're using the EV 800 Hz crossover, similar dimensions may work for you. It would be a good idea to make some prototypes and test them before going to wood, as test conicals are easy to fabricate from cardboard.
Good luck, and let us know how it goes
