In a back loaded horn design it's necessary to make the throat of the back horn smaller than what would be used in a front loaded horn where maximum efficiency would be a goal. This is because the output from the horn would tend to over power the output from the direct radiating front of the driver in a BLH if this imbalance was'nt addressed. While this limits the efficiency of a BLH compared to a front loaded horn design, the upside is that the bass output below the horn cut off becomes more of a useful player in the bass response with a BLH due to the fact that the horn is less efficient.
