Hey all. new here 3/30/2020 Am into all phases of sound /music as a keyborad player and tech of rhodes Hammond and analog boards like the Korg CX ,roland VK and oberheim 3 sq.. lookin for an oberheim 3square right now. Have built all my own P A cabinets/ stacks and now have a quick project to use up some junk.Think book shelf back channel, but still want the best sound out of em I can get. My question is where to find the best cabinet dimensions [actually only height] for what I am using, which ya'll might laugh at, but thats ok. Its all junk as in scrap literal leftovers. 4 drivers per cab. 1-4in KLH 8 ohm woof and 3-4 ohm 3in full ranger drivers all high end from old computer hang ons..lol I have 3 in deep [right now] ports too,. and i am makin the cabinets out of 1/8in clear lexan old cracked UTV windshields 5in x5in x ? tall..Thats what I need the best height to get the best volume for the best low end,etc.I have some 1/2x 1/.2 galvanized angle and rivets for the corners..still laughin? I am leavin em clear and thinkin they will have kind of a steam punk look to em. No stuffin and plan on trickin the wires to be seen inside.I don;t have any other info on these drivers...i am healing surgery off my foot a while and this covid gives me the time to knock this out..You can get me direct a hawgford@windstream.net. I do some car/ Harley audio as well,as buddy does custom interiors, got a big lanzar feedin a dual coil 8in that hides in the center console of my turbo 4 cyl ranger single cab , quick and loud sleeper,lol.Anybody with vintage boards needin repair or upgrades talk to me too..If I can figure it out ,i'll get notifications from here,but will check in, best to email direct.. thanks
Your post would be much more readable if you were to space things out a little

Help around here is freely given for the most part, so there's no need to advertise services in return.
To answer your question, though, I'd strongly recommend downloading and learning WinISD Pro to find out what your cabinet dimensions will do to the sound.
I'd also recommend separating the woofer and full-range speakers. If the woofer is reasonably powerful, you'll find it'll push the smaller cone right out of the enclosure. Not good.
I'd also suggest that you look at Ohm's law, and make sure you're not going to melt your amplifier by connecting a load of speakers in parallel.
