I calculated a 30-liter box for my woofer, but the box will have 33 liters because of the internal box of the midrange that I will install. Doing the math here, the height of a round box for the midranger would be 35.7 cm, taking as a base the 4 inches that it has...
Therefore, the main box which would hold the woofer and the tweeter would have the measurements of Final Dimensions of the Box:
Height: 47 cm (0.47 m)
Width: 30 cm (0.30 m)
Depth: approximately 23.4 cm (0.234 m)
The height of the midranger box completely exceeds the depth of the box, and I wanted the speakers in the front to be arranged one above the other, as I think it is more aesthetically pleasing...
Any idea of how I can do this?
The midranger will operate between 400Hz and 3200Hz
I don't know if I should reduce the size of its box... for me, I think it's a great choice for it to be around 3 liters

I guess the fc of the mid speaker in the enclosure will be far below lower crossover?The midranger will operate between 400Hz and 3200Hz
If so you could reduce the mid chamber volume and by doing so raise fc and Qtc, it will not have any relevant influence, if distant from the 400 Hz crossover frequency.

... up to a certain degree. Don't overstuff enclosures.Stuffing increases the apparent volume if the box
I'm using Boxsim as simulation tool for speaker design, and it has a maximum setting of 25 g/L for stuffing. So I assume this is a practical limit.
To the OP: you can make a deeper box to allow for the depth of your midrange enclosure and block some of in the bottom to get the woofer enclosure back at 30 liters. I don't see any other option in this case.
