Box for 6.5's

I plan on replacing my 6x9's with some Boston Acoustic 6.5's Coax's. Is there some way to make an enclosure for the speakers. They dont even have to be totally air tight, but i want something where i will be able to get some midbass from, because my speakers now just cant cut it. Thanx.

build some cardboard mock-ups to find one that can fit through the 6x9 hole and still provide sufficient space for the 6.5".

Sounds good, and I would also contact BA for recommended VAS (volume of air) specs. They are very helpful with this type of stuff. I once built a set of home speakers from a pair of BA Pro 5.2 components, and they sounded killer.
