Can you kindly offer some suggestion for a 12 inch woofer.

To be used in either ported or sealed box.
will be mated with my Oris horns to cover from 480htz up.

A quick check of woofer frequency charts show that 12" woofers usually only go to 1200 Hz and get real rough any higher.

But a couple of custom speaker manufacturers have started using the Satori 9.5" woofer which enables them to crossover to the midrange much higher, with a good crossover design it may go to 3400 Hz.

Selah Audio Harbinger - Proper driver integration was key here and not a simple task to marry a 9.5” woofer to a 2” dome midrange. In order to make it work the woofer required an extended and well-behaved upper end frequency response.

gd morning All,

Apologies, that should have been to play from 480htz down and not up.
