1st off, id reccomend going out and measuring the area in which you can work with, and see how much space is available. Then get the specs from your sub woofers to see how much space is recomended for ported enclosures and what tuning frequency is suggested.
As far as pictures go,
Elemental Designs has some pictures of vented (ported) enclosures for their subwoofers (they use transmission lines moreso than a regular port design)

JL audio has a good tutorial website on tuning ported enclosures etc

im sure there are plenty of other sites some of the others can give you,
Just get some measurements and some specs and we can help you

If you go with the MTX 6000 series 15's, sealed recommended air chamber is 1.75 cu ft./sub. (ft^3) That's the internal dimensions of the box, not external. This number includes sub woofer displacement as well. (0.10 ft^3) Your over all box with dual 15's will be pretty close to 5.0 cf. (external)
If you go ported, will pick up +3dB more bass below 100 Hz. However, the enclosure will be 3.0 ft^3/sub. For a pair, we're looking at almost 8.0 ft^3 overall. That's a large box bud.
