If they do have return and still are low in airflow then the duct system could be in need of a"tune-up". This is done by dampering off some of the airflow to the rooms that have a great air flow thus giving more air to poor ones.

Note; there is no rule of thumb when it comes to PROPERLY sizing a duct system. It is done by using heat loss/gain calculations( Manual J and D ) from the location, orientation and construction , insulation, etc, of the home.
Properly being the key word here. I'll have to try dampening off the ducts again but if I remember correctly it didn't help.
I have 2 returns 1 main in the hallway about 20+" and another in the great room not sire of the size. Thx for the response.
