Reaching 40Hz with a folded horn isn't at all difficult. For one thing assuming it's going into a typical living room you can model in 1/8 space. In most cases you're going to be less than 1/2 wavelength out from the nearest room corner throughout most of the sub pass band, and in addition to the boundary reinforcement you're going to have cabin gain. The hard part lies in knowing how to fold it and design the actual cabinet. There's only one way to do that, and it's the same way that you get to Carnegie Hall: practice, man, practice.
