Thiele-Small Parameters for MW6500 Drivers

Michael8it

I have some spare parts laying around and am interested in building a center channel speaker using these old components. Does anyone know the Thiele-Small parameters for MW6500 drivers? These would be needed to know what size port to put in the box.

The parts I would like to use:

1 Peerless Tweeter
2 MW6500 drivers
RTA12 or 12B (top) Crossover.

Due to size requirements, the box need to be ported, not sealed, which is why I need the specs.

Thanks!
