Elton, it looks like the main cabinet only half the size. I have a photo of mine that I can share if I can find it.

One 12" RCA type speaker and two RCA type tweeters.

Like this but with just one woofer. I am guessing your main unit looks very similar to mine which is the photo attached.

So would it be safe to say , just cut in half the measurements of the main unit for the satellite speaker?

Elton, the aux speaker is probably bigger than half that of the main unit. If you would like, the next time I am at where it is stored, I could take some measurements.
