Some soundguys aren't sure whether they're coming or going. Ha!
Well if I recall back in the day, most 15" and a few 18" speakers were found in 2 way boxes and had frequency responses up to and beyond the 1k hz region.  Then we started seeing a few drivers that were optimized for subwoofer use and had heavier cones and more mass so they rolled off around 300 hz. so ..not so good for bi-amping anymore. Thus the term-"true" subwoofer. 
Since it is NOT a defined engineering term and there are hundreds of different kinds that are optimized for different kinds of boxes, "making a list" of them strikes me as a good way to waste a lot of time. It would be much more productive to define your intended use requirements. Like if your touring it'll need handles and weigh less than 500lbs. Will it need flying hardware, weather-proofing, ...will it need to fit in a mini-van? -stuff like that to whittle down the choices so we don't have to spend the rest of our lives arguing what would be "best". The more you can define your needs, the better. Unless your paying us by the hour. In that case, by all means , let's start w/ a general discussion and include as many vague terms as possible. Lol!
Have a lovely day y'all !

Just for argument sake-I would say that "sub" is defined, as beling "below".

So it would operate below the freq response of the rest of the system.

Until the response of the rest of the rest of the system is defined, then sub could be almost anything.

If the system is a single 2" TV speaker-then a "true sub" could need to go as high as 300Hz.

There is no "simple answer" to a complex question that no usable data.

You first have to start to define the usage of the "horn".

Yeah I know-making people THINK once again-where is the "simple WRONG answer"?

Is the horn used for pattern control? -If sdown to what freq?

Or impedance matching from the driver to the outside air-for increased sensitivity/efficiency?  or both?

How effective does it have to be to considered a "true horn"?

Yeah, I know-the boring details------
