It's going to be a 2.0 cu/ft custom built box. Powered by an Alpine MRP M-650.

Should I go ported or sealed? and what will be the difference?

Also how many Hz should I get it tuned to? and does the Hz determine SPL and SQ?

Ported for sure. ported gets lower and the R loves ported boxes. Tune to 35hz if you like rap. What kind of music you like?

how big should the port be?
should I face the sub UP or facing the rear in a 4 door sedan?
I listen to rap so 35Hz. and will this be more of a clean bass or loud?

for rap go ported at 35hz which is a mix of loud with low

there is no rule for box position - try all & see what sounds best to u ...
