i posted a picture of my trunk setup a while back with the eight 12's but if im not mistaken i have somewhere between 12-13 cubic feet to work with...i want the audioque HDC's..and power wise i have two kicker zx2500's and im thinkin about getting a IA 40.1
ported you get boomy bass with a thump to it and low notes with fullness, sealed u get a deep note with no thump like a ported box does but sealed can go lower and the transient response is better sealed by far especially when playin a fast tecnho song or fast pop song, my l5 is in a ported box and it can't keep up with fast paced songs. if it was in a sealed box it prolly could. before i always used sealed, oh how a ported setup brings more dbs!

But they aren't facts. Some subs are meant for sealed or ported enclosures. A sub can only sound as good as the enclosure its in. I have ported 18s and would put them against most sealed setups I've heard.
not sure what you mean by ground pounders but you can pound the ground with a sealed or ported box.
decide how much space you have to work with. then decide on a size sub. make sure if you are going the ported route you have enough space for a good size box with a good size port area.
