My DYI speakers include a 12" Pioneer woofer model A30GU40-51D, a 5.25" Pioneer mid-range model FB12EU14-51F. I am trying to assemble a file on my unit and I want to include each of the drivers specifications.
FYI these are mounted in 3/4-in thick solid Mahogany cabinets, with the interior dimensions of 22.5" x 9.5" x 14". They are filled with two pounds of Acousta-Stuf® Polyfil (from Parts-Express), and a 3" ID (hopefully correctly tuned) port. I had trouble calculating the length of the port. Used two different formulas and they gave different lengths. These units provide great bass, but I later added the P-E Boogieman Sub Woofer with 500-Watt Plate Amp. These speakers really sound great, as it seems all the drivers matched up well. The Pioneer 12" was the speaker that I needed to match the Vas for the enclosure box, it sort of was back engineered as I was replacing some 1960's Utah 12" 3-way speakers that failed.
I drive the system with a Pioneer A/V Receiver. First with a Pioneer VSX-1015TX, then I upgraded to a Pioneer VSX-LX105 mainly to get HDMI ports rather than RCA ports for the signals. It simplified the interconnected wiring between the TV, DVD deck, the Fire Stick for my TV channels and occasionally my laptop computer (Linux OS)

If you spend some minutes scrolling you will find a good deal of the specs in the provided links/doc.
Else measure the drivers in a test baffle if you can.
The FB12EU14-51F ,was sold by parts express for a while it looks like, so someone on here or the Parts Express forum likely have the datasheets available.
