Ported= high volume levels (all around rock, jazz music
Sealed= Deep bass (Rap)

hes got it all wrong

sealed will give you a tigher response for like classical, jazz, etc...it hits lower but it is not as loud as ported

ported is louder, +3 dB to be nearly exact and it is often used for bass, which does not require the quick smooth repsonse of jazz and classical, and is usually loud, boomy bass

bandpass is for SPL use with gains of up to +24 dB with box design - spikes at a very very narrow frequency range and does not go well with other frequencies lower than the tuned, it will roll off and sound awful

Sealed will be the best, especally for RAP. If your jensen spec. size said 0.75 cu inch then you will work around that. I suppose you have 2 subs so double the 0.75 to get 1.50 cu in. Now go to the link below and work around your car with measurements and see what you like till you get the correct space. Now it doesnt have to be exact like between 1.4 and 1.6 is fine.
You may need to scroll down.

4 subs that is awesome, my hat goes off to you, so you need around 3.0 cu ft of space. You need a big box!
