    Welcome, before we can help you, you need to go to the READ ME FIRST section and read EVERYTHING there. Then come back and ask what you still have trouble with. Note: all those Thiele parameters mean absolutely nothing and there is so much info I just skipped over it. Power of amps and program rating of speakers, the +/-3db range of the speakers and the load they present to the amps is all we can work with.
