This is an interesting idea. I'm not sure how well it would crossover due to the extra group delay. I would think that a transmission line might be a better idea to get more low end extension from a tweeter. I think many high end tweeter made today have a closed transmission line setup to help reduce the reflections bouncing back on the back side of the dome (creating interference). Maybe a combination of a open transmission line tweeter with a waveguide to extend the low end and control directivity is an idea to explore.
Kartesian uses a helmholtz resonator. I’m not sure how much it extends the low end, but the idea is that the raised impedance in 1-2kHz range improves distortion and power handling in the low end of the tweeter spectrum.

Cool to see something new.
Now that is different and new. Easy enough to try on a DX25 too....

Yeah it looks like the TG59 that Erin’s holding,
Try the ported boost on the beastly DX25BG60?
The DX25 already has a tuned rear chamber. That is the purpose rear chambers more or less already serve.
JR have you watched the video?
If it’s not a DX25 variant I don’t know what base tweeter he’s holding. Can you tell?
