you can model them up in modeling software to see what you give you most desired response, or you can look up the manufacturers recommended specs.

if its small it will be really tight snappy and responsive but may lack the lower end... if you will make it a bit bigger will give better bottom end and blend better with your sub bass... but alot depends what the frequency range is of you speaker set... if you make the enclosure/pod too big the speaker will become sluggish and muddy sounding and lack response and accuracy
