I was interested in enclosing two 8-watt full range speakers into some sort of small cabinet. What sort of cabinet is recommended? What material, how big, any holes...

Hard to tell without any speaker parameters.

The Thiele-Small parameters, Fs, Qts, Qes, Vas, Re, etc.etc., the more info the better. Parts express makes a woofer tester for around 100 bucks to measure all those parameters and more.

Check out the Smith & Larson testers too. Keith Larson made the original one that Parts Express sold. Now they sell a clone. The newer S & L testers do a whole lot more.
