About the proposed attic-mounted 40Hz horns:
Is there an elephant in the room?
I'm speaking of the proximity of two horns, relative to each other, and the possible consequence; namely they may end up working as a sort of mono horn... A situation further exacerbated by the fact that the cathedral ceiling will reflect each horn's output toward the center of the room.
A possible partial solution to both issues might be to extend the vertical, central dividing plane mentioned earlier (and with other objectives in mind), much further into the listening space.
If it were me, I would build the horns independent of the house, and place them on the ground, in the room directly under the attic location, one against each side wall.
Yes this would hinder human access to the room off to the side (likely the kitchen), but as you are a cat, this is of no concern; at worst, you may have to punch a hole somewhere creating an alternate path to that room.
