The 12" woofer reads 6.2 Ω DC Res, but the whole speaker reads 12.3 Ω Res.
Something is really stuck in the switches!

Believe it or not, I paid 4 (four) euros in a 2nd-hand shop for a very well build (diy) speakers including the incredible CA25RE4 in it. 🙂
I'm using them most of the time. The x-over has those metallic blue bipolar Philips caps. Don't know if the speakers were assembled more than 20 years ago. They look in good condition.

Nice 2-way speakers! I think I saw them before! 🙂
Very nice. That's the old Dynaco A25 woofer, isn't it? 😀

Runs full range if you want.

It also helps that it's a shallow chassis when lining up phase. The DeVore Orangutan is similar. I'd like to see a photo.
 
For a quick start in Boxsim, you can just import some existing projects into the "Projekte" folder. Then play with them. I think you usually need to uncheck the "Common Outer Housing" option to adjust cabinets.

TBH, some of the Visaton designs are a bit rubbish, but you can fix that: Boxsim Projektdatenbank Experience V20

Boxsim has an optimise button that works on crossover components you check as optimize in red. It's rather brilliant.

Here it is.... 😀

Box sealed, and I think it is something like 40L.

The tweeter is not a great piece, but it does a good job. All resemble those for Magnat speakers.

The mid could be better, but it has the front panel cut for it. And the woofer is wonderful... 🙂

That looks a well executed design, Karl. Especially for 4 euros! 😎

You'll fine three ways are quite easy in Boxsim if you start with a vaguely correct sort of design: SEAS Kit 503

Get the bass and treble slopes vaguely right, then let the optimizer have 4 midrange elements marked in red to play with plus some attenuation, and it'll do a pretty good job of filling the hole in the midrange. If it struggles, you might need to flip some phase on drivers.

Somehow they all end up looking like this:
