I think you meant to say cu.ft., not sq. ft. It's tough at this size, and it's probably a toss-up. I'd probably do the same thing and go with the larger cubic volume. I'd say go for the 1 : 1.4 : 1.66 and don't look back.

You're right I did mean cu.ft (a misprint!). Thank you so much for all of your frank and informative responses. You've opened me up to a whole new way that math/music/architecture/physics works together- How indicative of our Creator. I very much enjoy learning new things about physics, especially physics of sound and music, and I have debated getting a Master's in Acoustics. So thank you very much!
I will plan on the 1.4:1.6 ratio and will post my new diagram ASAP. If you could please check back and give a critique of the new plan it would be much appreciated!!
So I take it I don't need to be concerned with the 80Hz dip in the Bonello graph of the 1:1.4:1.66??
Many thanks,
Nathan Webb
