How do you guys get glue to stick to the inside of your sonotubes? Mine doesn’t really allow me to make good plywood ends that are locked in place and sealed up 🥲
Spandex... What a feeling!
I think I'd be tempted to get a big chintzy lampshade for the top and try to make it look like an enormous `Leg lamp'

Or, you can take a razor blade, and get under the 'skin' on the inside, and remove a small band where you are gluing, this is what I have done in the past. PL Premium works well for gluing.
I cut the end caps so they have a step, the tube butts up against the step, while most of the end cap is inside of the tube.
Also, if you make the cap slightly larger on the OD, like 1mm or so you can easily run a flush trim bit around, or hit it with a sander.
How about using the HVAC vents as the cavity for the subwoofer?
In my house, there living room has a long run to the nearest plenum and is it's own zone... meaning there's a damper going into the plenum.
So that would give me a nice cavity for two 6" drivers side by side at the vent. I believe the "duct" is 10 inches round.
Of course, my wife might not like it.

Ever been to the Getty Villa in Malibu?
It's designed like a rich man's Roman Villa. With lots of columns. Doric, Corinthian, Ionic, Etruscan, Los Angelinium... you name it... All they need is a set of El Pipii ( plural for El Pipo ) to set up an awesome outdoor audio system.
Hmm... Corinthian columns for the bass, Ionic for the midrange, Doric for the tweeters and Etruscan to hide the Amplicatio Parasoundum.
But seriously, a pair of 7" nicely done columns, 10" wide, on each corner, might do the trick? It's one of those projects that I haven't yet done... like using the Sissy to drive an F4 ( got the parts, just not the time since I quit retirement... ).

I've driven past it a lot a few years ago, but not for a while. Your awesome outside sound system seems more in line with the eclectic mix of Hearst Castle - perhaps you knock something together to go around their outside pool. It would be a nice setting and less traffic noise too
