Thank you wayne and guys for the feedback.
I did try to keep the size exactly the same as the standing waves / nodes thing worried me. Believe adding to the bracing would move the frequency of the nodes up and decrease the level some, which seemed reasonable. I did play with a node estimator that is available on the web to try to see what changes might result.
Wish I had been able to make a super pretty box but my basic shinny black box isn't too bad and sure sounds good. Did add couple of pounds of clay to the outside of the horns and then coated them with sealant to make sure clay did not dry out or fall off in future years.
Thanks again for the great design and published info on building these. I did use your latest horns and while I can't compare them they do sound quite good and smooth.
