For anyone confused why they should go ported or sealed with your subwoofer....

ok first, you need to determine what the speakers are made for.. not all drivers work in both box types.
you need the TS stats.Should come with the subs, or download the tech specs from their website)
and calculate the EBP
here's how:

Efficiency Bandwidth Product (EBP)
EBP = Fs / Qes
50 or less = best used in a sealed enclosure.
50 - 90 = flexible enclosure options.
90 or greater = best used in ported enclosure.

very simple calculation.

I figured i should shed some light about this because alot of people are not sure. This way you get the best performance out of your sub and match it up right.

Not really, just make sure you tune it above the FS aka resonant freq of the sub.

Usually between 28-35 hz for most SQ - SQL setups.
