Subwoofer using old drivers
I am considering building a pair of subwoofers using a pair of 12" drivers from a pair of 70's vintage Goodmans Magnum SL's. Having no parameters for these drivers, will just replicating the original cabinet dimensions/volume suffice? I would like to build the cabinets to look like antique 3 drawer chests so would a downward or rearward firing configuration work?

Downfiring would likely be best if it's to sit up against a wall: rear-firing could upset the airflow. The original volume etc would probably do, but it's not too difficult to measure the basics.

Is there any way I can get some basic parameters for these drivers. It may allow me to optimise the enclosures.
