When a manufacturer gives you a range of box sizes, chances are, the larger size will produce more output. The smaller end of the range will probably give you a tighter, more accurate sound. That will be a decision you have to make. Tuned or sealed is also for you to decide. Do you know other people with sealed and ported enclosures, you may have to listen to a few of each to see what you like best.
