Ok so for my 2 Alpine type E subs I can chose between a type 1 or 2 sub box
Crutchfield explains them like this
Type 1: Small, sealed box — produces tight, focused bass. The most accurate bass response of all box types, but requires more power.
Type 2: Medium box — comes equipped with pre-cut port hole(s), port hole plug(s), and ports, so it can be used for either sealed or ported applications. More efficient than a sealed box, so you get more bass SPL with a little less accuracy.
So witch should i go with? Remeber i want some hard hittin bass that i can feel not hear...
sealed if you want it to be accurate and have nice SQ.
ported if you want to be louder
and any pre-fabricated ported enclosure that crutchfield says probably isn't gonna be too great. save some money and build your own.

if you want bass you can feel go with a proted box, or even a bandpass (although a bandpass with hit realy hard on sertain notes and not was well on others)
you also should look at the QTS and the EBP (calculated as fs/qes) to determine what enclosure the subwoofer is best suited for.
if the QTS is higher then .45, it might be better suited in a sealed enclosure, if it's lower, ported might be your better choice.
if the EPB is lower then 50...then sealed might be the better choice
higher then 50...go ported.

do yourself a favor and stay away from crutchfield, they're way overpriced and their products arent that great
