Yup - I have built a set of speakers using fullrange drivers (Fostex) - in a mass loaded transmission line enclosure.
Fullrange means no crossover needed - correct.
There are various parameters (Thiele Small) that dictate what type of enclosure best suits a particular driver - Qts and Fs in particular.
This looks like a good place to start: https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/full-range/287246-tangband-w8-2145-a.html
There are also various calculators available that you plug the TS specs into and adjust enclosure volume etc and it will predict that frequency response.

I'm looking to build a pair of zero-fuss speakers using a pair of 8" full range drivers.

Anyone on here with experience in building speaker boxes/enclosures?
I'm not sure where to start. How do i calculate the size and if it should have a sealed, ported, rear loaded horn design? I'm a complete noob when it comes to this and a retard when it comes to math and electric schemes etc. Can someone explain it in short to me as if i was 5? Thank you.
Looking to build something similar in style to this Fern & Roby.
Also. I should be able to run a full range driver without crossovers right? The idea of making my own crossovers scare me.
