Enclosure for MMC650

I realize this is not an ideal situation but I want to make home tower speakers from some left over Polk MMC650's that I have. I have attempted some enclosures previously for these speakers. The enclosure was roughly 8"x8"x36", sealed using 3/4" mdf. The sound was good from probably 200 Hz and up but the low end was non-existent.
I know there are factors that are fighting me to make this sound good. The biggest is that the efficiency of a car speaker is horrible compared to a home speaker. I don't really know why but the woofer barely moves hooked up to my 100 watt home receiver yet moves much more on a 22 watt car deck. Why is that? Also this is a free air speaker so I know that is a factor but even a free air speaker sounds better with an enclosure even if it's a very big one. Right?
If anyone knows how to make these sound good as home speakers please help me out.
I have extensive woodworking ability so enclosures with multiple chambers and venting or porting is not a problem.
