Did somebody ever tried new DIY cabinets for Polk Audio Monitor 40 Speakers?

I was thinking that I like the sound of my Monitor 40 speakers but their looks are not so great compared to more expensive speakers. I need a hobby and woodworking is great so I thought about making some new beautiful tower cabinets for my speakers. I need help to find out the drivers specs so I can calculate the size of the new cabinets. I was hoping that some members have that info or know where to get it. The Monitor 50 are basically the tower version of that speaker and their dimensions can be a starting point for my cabinets but I don't have the details about the internal shape and bracing so I don't know how to apply that dimensions to my own cabinets and I need help with that as well.

I really hope somebody can help me with this project.

You're flying in the dark. The Monitor 40s may look like they use the same drivers as the Monitor 50s, but looks aren't everything. Drivers that look the same may have very different T/S parameters. The crossovers may also be different. Having someone measure the cabinet dimensions of the 50s won't help if the components aren't the same. Also, extrapolating external measurements may not give you the exact internal volume. Port size and tuning are also critical.
