The smallest box is whatever is just physically big enough for the sub to fit into.  You probably won't like the performance much though.  

With sealed boxes there isn't a hard cutoff where if you go lower than that the sub just stops working.  What happens is the smaller you go the more performance is going to degrade.  Its a gradual change, but at some point you will be better off to either on run one sub or run different subs all together.   Two 15" L7s are pretty big subs.  What are the dimensions of the space you have to work with?

You have PLENTY of room for a sealed box for those two subs.

Since you have the space, definitely ported.  You aren't going to have any cabin gain so a sealed box is going to fall on its face on the lower notes..
