Dont forget about the break in period for new speakers. They wont sound quite right for a few hours, untill everything has had time to settle. Give them a few days of moderate play, then all will be good.
break in period?

Yeah, when you first get new speakers, dont go above 1/3rd volume, for a few hours, that is when you are in the greatest risk for blowing speakers, Also, I have noticed that speakers once they have some play under their belts, they sound a lot better.

When I first got my Kicker k693's and k65's they didnt have very much bass responce and the highs sounded harsh, but once they wore worn in alittle, all was great.

Think of it like a new pair of shoes, at first they might be stiff and maybe you get a blister, but once you wear them for a while, they becomce great!

With boxes: You speakers will have a recommended box size, given in cubic feet. Just get that recommendation, and then find a box that is about the same size. Those kicker Comp's need a box between 1.25cu.ft. and 3.5cu.ft
these boxes will do
.
This one for a tighter, punchy bass http://www.sounddomain.com/sku/RTE32212

This one if you want a loose boomy sound
