You would be better off adding midrange drivers rather than the supertweeters. I have 2-15" drivers set up in d'appolito mode in sealed enclosures that crossover at 800 Hz as you propose. That is about all you will get out of them. Mine cross over to 2-6.5" mid bass drivers also d'appolito mode in a sealed cabinet that crossover at 800 and 4000Hz and then I cross over to a single horn tweeter from 4000Hz and up.The 15" will give out at 800 Hz and your horn driver will not do much at 800Hz leaving you a critical midrange hole at ~800Hz that will noticeably affect vocals. Doing this will improve your system more than the super tweeter will.
The horn is much more efficient than the cone drivers typically so you will want to lpad it to get the right balance among the drivers.
You better have a good amp to handle the dual 15's on each channel.
