I would say as large as you can get away with. What kind of power are you using? I have not had much experience with CDT's, but most of the speakers I have worked with have sounded much better free-air. Sealing only seems to increase power handling (at the cost of midbass below 100hz)

Try contacting CDT and see what they suggest. But make sure you come back and tell us all what they said!

Yes, please do tell us that and your experience with the sealed enclosure. Orion quoted me .166 cubes for the HCCA 6s mid with about 350watts per side.

I would bet they would sound better, and be easier to install if you just put them IB in the doors.
