It's hard to visualize for sure. '2d' is usually a constant width horn, so a simple side view tells you all you need to know. The issue with constant width horns is resonance coloration when the width reaches 1/4 wavelength. In a sub that doesn't go above 100Hz, where 1/4 wavelength is 2.8 feet, it's not a problem. But to go to 400Hz or higher, like a KHorn or my DR series, constant widths and parallel surfaces are a major problem. It's not difficult to design folded horns without constant widths or parallel surfaces using modern drawing software, but it's a bear without them. I managed it with my earliest DR horns, as did PWK with his KHorns, but it easily increases the prototyping process time by a factor of ten.
