speaker box build up?

I am confused about how a cars door speakers sounds just at the door Vs the same speaker in a box.

Ive read about subs that needs only 1cu.ft. but nothing about an oval speaker about that size.

I have a few Ford OEM 25W 4Ω speakers(outer dimensions are 8" X 5.75" + -) that I would like to use as a lower mids(close to low). of course these are no subs but i want to get the most low freq. that I can that they can reproduce. they will be used as part of a 5.1 system for my TV. don't worry about the Ω and Amp I got that under control.

door mounted speakers sound very nice and with a nice bump, IDK the space specs of a door so does anyone knows how big(inside) does the box should be? I keep reading about too big and the speaker will sounds like crap.

its just a proof of concept project I want to try. BUT I want it to sound good too.

TIA

Update:

AVDADDY

"they will be used as part of a 5.1 system for my TV"

what part of that did you not understand? do I have to say I have a dolby prologic receiver, a projector, a regressive scan DVD player and all that crap?

R U serious?

If you have nothing informative to say concerning my Q. STHU!

Update 2:

What i need is a relative cubic space of the box. I have a set of those in the atic, I'll give them a shot first. tks

    you could try getting the dimensions of a subwoofer box, and then just downscale it to fit your speakers, thats what i did with 4 of my subwoofers and it worked fine.

    i would say about 1/2 cubic foot ported...

    i can make the container for the 8" subs (with their own human being chamber w/ astonishing airspace) with more advantageous clearance on the perimeters for 6x9 holes and then container in the bottom of the 6x9's very last. fabrics can help preserve the container even if it truly is totally own determination.
