With regard to my own efforts to construct a pair of 40Hz horns, I'd have to admit that Romy, John and Paul are right.

Though I have tried to improve my odds through research, and though I am integrating variables where practicable (variable volume rear chambers, horns independent of room structure and therefore mobile), in the end, I'll be largely stuck with whatever I get.

I don't have a problem with that; because I'm doing the work myself, there's mostly just time at stake. Had I not embarked on this project, I'd be off on some other equally long-term and masochistic pursuit.

Researching the subject has been an exercise in accumulating, filtering, and letting the kept data ferment while doing other things (other horns).

I'm always wary of getting lost in a wilderness of question, then disappearing down a rabbit hole (as tiny purple fishes run laughing through my fingers...). There comes a point in the lead-up to all challenging endeavors, where you either wax yourself into non action, or accept certain unknowns and execute the plan, never questioning that you will see it through to a finished state.
