link doesn't work it's an Ebay link, read the forum rules about that.

Go ported and give it it's recommend box volume to get the max SPL of that sub .

What are the specs on that box?

That sub needs a hella big box. Go ported though...minimum ported is 3ft^3 so just build the biggest box you can fit and tune it right...then shake the house.

ported boxes always sound better but the disadvantages are that they need a whole lot more room. more room equals heavier.

I don't mean this to be mean or anything, but ported boxes don't always sound better. Sealed boxes sound better in certain situations and visa versa. 87vertgt, how much space do you have for your box? If you don't have the right amount of space for a ported box, then don't push it. I also suggest that you don't buy a box off of eBay. The box is a ver very important part in a subwoofer setup. Look into getting one custom built. That's just a suggestion though.

That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.

You can poly fill your sealed box and try to over power the sub, but be careful not to blow it. If you can't get one custom built then try a pro box. You can't loose with these boxes.
