Any crossover wizards able to suggest if this could work?
Have some compartmentalized reflex cabinets - 15l upper & 32l lower.
Hope to fit Tannoy V6 drivers in the upper with Peerless SLS-P830667 woofers in the lower.
I have the original 2 way V6 crossovers and a pair of Tannoy 638 3 way crossovers (schematics attached).
Would you start from scratch or could these be cobbled into a viable crossovers?
Grateful for any advice.

I have not. Use full range column arrays which I'd like to try with dsp's. Constrained by cost..
Why does that idea lend itself to this spare parts project?

You mean dimensional measurements on a software simulation? No. I have no fancy kit and hand build cabinets. These cabinets were Musical Technology Falcons with reinforced baffles coated with sand loaded bitumen.
What simulator would you recommend?
What simulator would you recommend?
i mean:
1a) taking impedance measurements free air and with added mass or in a sealed enclosure to calculate the TS parameters of drivers.
1b) alternatively you can of course use the manufacturer parameters, if available.
based on the TSP you can simulate and optimize lower frequency response and impedance responce for bass reflex/sealed ... enclosures.
2 a) taking frequency response measurements of drivers in the box using a microphone and measurement software.
2 b) alternatively use frequency response data provided by manufacturer; as these responses are usually done in infinite baffles they would need to be manipulated accordingly (software can do this).
based on the frequency responses and impedance responses you can simulate and optimize the total frequency response, energy response etc.
what simulator to use depends mainly on how much you already know or are willing to learn.
Hornresp, Vituixcad, X-sim, WinISD, Boxsim ...

Thanks for, but after further listening tests have decided to bin crossovers permanently and replace the DC drivers with ICT's.
If only Goodmans or Mr. Boaz had pursued this tech further.
Trained as an electrical engineer but lost faith in scientific measurement through experience. Will lose no more time to disparate t/s calculators etc.
Mr Russel (as Murphy) was onto something:

Echoes of diy Straight 8's perhaps but if each FR driver had been ICT.
An old colleague persistently measured his HiFi performance, spending tens of thousands of pounds on every tweak, mod and upgrade available. Attempts to convince him that altering room shape, contents and speaker position were far more important than the amp caps or interconnects were greeted as heresy.
Science oft falls on its ****.
