Seeing as you have received No advice.. yet.
First point: Drivers Need! to have their centrelines at a sitting listeners ear height ~38" Use cinder blocks a stool or even a chair to get them up there. Then listen to them in that configuration for a few days.
Then decide (listen for?) what you feel may be missing AND that a New Box may correct. Darned little as a wild guess.
But hey! some things need firsthand experiencing
A simple decently built Bass Reflex box of 150/200 litres will do quite nicely IMO.
Sometimes even adding bracing/rigidity to the embarrassingly flimsy constructions Tannoy used (they were a driver builder.. enclosures were only to faciltate sales)gives surprisingly pleasing result
The GRF Pretend horn is a bit of a tease..Avoid it's Siren call.
It has lured far too many.. for lacklustre result. Don't Bother is my view after gone to serious trouble building such.
