Hi all, i have recently just refurbished some old Wharfedale speakers i had lieing in the attic from the late 70s. They are Wharfedale Dovedale SP's. They were a 79 model i think and come with 3 way crossover and the well recognised white midrange 4.5" speaker with laser cuttings to reduce resonance. They also have two 6.5" mid/bass drivers and a single tweeter.
Basically i have gone ahead and replaced the tweeters with scanspeak classics of the same impedence and freq response because one of the originals had blown. I have had to replace all the bass drivers with the most similar drivers i could find within my price bracket too. I also went about repairing and upgrading the crossovers and replaced all internal wiring with decent copper stuff.
Now my main question is, can anyone provide me with a calculator or some way of calculating the recommended size of cabinet for the new drivers ive chosen to replace the original ones? The spec of the drivers can be found here:

The speaker cabinets are 55litres a piece and since i have two drivers in each cabinet i think this should be ok; but i am struggling to find any method to calculate the recommended cabinet size when using two drivers in one cabinet.
Some help would be appreciated if anyone can provide me with some results or even just some method of calculating a recommended box volume for these drivers when used together.
Thanks in advance,
Andrew.
