That's horribly disappointing for now but I think Jessie is right.
Firstly, as you essentially said, I wonder if the horns are coupling into the room such that you actually have much bigger devices than you thought... you are actually sitting inside the horn, in other words. Do they sound any different with the door open, or standing way out in the garden?
2) What happens if you try and introduce a discontinuity across the mouth, say with a large blanket or two stretched across?
3) Obviously it will be interesting to see what happens with the back chamber open and foam removed...
Take hope; the impedance plot could imply you've managed to create some 10Hz horns by accident, and if they can be tamed... but, finally, I do wonder:
4) They're not playing out of phase by any chance?
Even if not, just look at the damned things - they can't fundamentally sound as bizarre as you've described without something being quite wrong in the setup!
Fingers crossed that a new day brings something quite different...
