Pretty freaking cool, Jessie. So, where can you put this monster where you can still get far enough away to listen to it?!?
If you pursue this, you might tack weld or screw on expanded metal mesh between the ribs of that behemoth so you could use something fairly easy to work with to construct the horn segments/acoustic profile and then layer on deadening material after the thing was +/- situated. I have had good results with acrylic modified cement, but it has not been proven with that sort of power at those frequencies. Parctically speaking, however, it is something you could build up over time until you were happy with it' and it can with care (and practice) be trowelled smooth and/or other fiish materials, such as plaster, can be applied on top for cosmetic effect.
