Entire books have been written on this subject. Big, meaty books with lots of information. Here is the bible on the subject.

Any short answer you get here is going to be couched in various assumptions and anecdotes.

You could use the mtx ones. It would get you over the crossover design, but you would still have to find a place for them in your design. Also, its hard to tell your design specifically, but it looks like the woofers are just attached to tubes. If thats the case, the woofers are going to be lacking a ton of base. In a proper enclosure, 5 1/2 in drivers could probably be expected to reach down to somewhere in the 50Hz range, possibly a little lower if you have the right set up. If I have your design correct, I would guess that your lowest bass would be somewhere up in the 150 - 200 Hz range, or right around the end of the human vocal spectrum. There would be no base below that and the speaker will sound very hollow.

This would be the reference I would send you to to get the information you need, but be warned that the information is very technically, it took me 2 - 3 reads to understand the information, and then go back and follow along with the calculations.

Two very classic books. They're a touch dated, but acoustical physics haven't changed much.

Start with this one: amazon.com/Designing-Building-Testing-Speaker-Projects

Then read this: amazon.com/Loudspeaker-Design-Cookbook-Vance-Dickason

If you get through those a couple times, and muck around with the included (ancient) software, you'll be ready to build a damn clean set of speakers. And a very good start for all the bits and parts is: parts-express.com It's totally worth the work. Have fun!
