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. They 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.
Ported will be louder by around +3dB.
Sealed will have a flatter, more accurate response, if accuracy is your goal. If SPL is your goal, go ported.
