The Kicker Website and install manual have good details on enclosure options for this sub. It lists 3 ported enclosures, depending on your application. Have a look:

The Tuner is the smallest, but nets good low bass response.
The SUV is also a good option if you want deep lows and have the cargo space for a very large box. This one will definitely tump your windows, doors and hinges.
The SPL is just that... loud and very limited in usable bass range. Note the tuning frequency is very high... 68 Hz. All bass below 60 Hz., needed to be blocked with infrasonic filtering to protect this woofer at high SPL levels.
As a daily driver that sounds clean, full and goes low, the Tuner makes a lot of sense. However, if you want more low end bump, go SUV.

That SPL one is for COMPETITION ONLY..like DB Drag. Don't use that for daily driving. Burp tones only!!!!!!
