OK. So I got a lucky break this morning. My oldest went off to school for a 4-hour drum-line practice, and my wife went shopping. The youngest was home but on xbox with big ol' headphones, so he was not a concern. 
I ran 30Hz through the amp. It sounded *aweful* when I started. So much noise that I was pretty sure that I had a microphonic something that I was going to have a challenge debugging. Plus, the volume was going in and out like there was a power supply problem. So, there actually *could* be a problem there - my restuffed cap cans are certainly suspect. But anyway, that all shook itself out. After about 10 minutes the noise went away, and as I kept ratcheting up the volume (ultimately getting to full volume), I was getting a relatively pure 30Hz out of the speaker. The cab doesn't really do 30Hz, so it wasn't perfect by any stretch.
But it's really fun listening to a speaker break in. It starts out with a whole bunch of overtones that ultimately just go away. After about 90 minutes, I stopped seeing improvement and decided to call it Good Enough.
