I believe you; and this is why I am hoping these LF horns you heard were ineptly implemented.
I would guess that the "cave/sewer-pipe sound" you describe is a form of honk. I think that more than choice of materials, the tendency to ask too much of a single horn (or to use the German term : asktoomuchofasinglehorn), is more likely to be the cause of this problem.
In my case the mid-bass horns will be true 45Hz horns (calculated as if sitting on the floor with no help from side walls or ceiling). They will be filtered to roll off below 90Hz.
I have become a TTHB (Total-True-Horn-Believer)...If things continue going as they are, I will quite my day job, light some candles, dress in sheets, and hold mass where the NTHBs (Non-True-Horn-Believers) can stop by, have some orange peels, and get converted. Going by what the existing horns already do, I think I better start stocking up on candles now.
